Quasi-Static and Dynamic Measurement Capabilities Provided by an Electromagnetic Field-Based Sensory Glove
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The sensory glove (also known as data or instrumented glove) plays a key role in measuring and tracking hand dexterity. It has been adopted in a variety of different domains, including medical, robotics, virtual reality, and human-computer interaction, to assess hand motor skills and to improve control accuracy. However, no particular technology has been established as the most suitable for all domains, so that different sensory gloves have been developed, adopting different sensors mainly based on optic, electric, magnetic, or mechanical properties. This work investigates the performances of the MANUS Quantum sensory glove that sources an electromagnetic field and measures its changing value at the fingertips during fingers' flexion. Its performance is determined in terms of measurement repeatability, reproducibility, and reliability during both quasi-static and dynamic hand motor tests.
