Development of a Smart Glove with Robust Bending Sensing Units for Advanced Human-Machine Interfacing

We report a smart wearable glove that can wirelessly control the robotic hand. The developed Miura-ori structured AgNWs embedded conductive elastomer wire shows good stretchability (~50%), low resistivity (0.00075 $\Omega\cdot \text{cm})$ , and good resistance reliability. The integrated formed bending sensor and the wires make the sensing unit more robust than traditional bonded metal wires. The further development of circuit design and Bluetooth transmission successfully build the human-machine interfaces (HMIs) between humans and robots.
