2.2 Sensor Glove Controller
Slide2Background and MotivationBasic Idea: combine sensor technologies with alternative ways of controlling a wheelchair
Most, if not all, wheelchairs on the market are limited to joystick controls.
Slide3Project OverviewGoal: build and program a sensor glove to control a miniature wheelchair
Slide4Glove Overview4 flex sensors in fingers
Accelerometer on top of hand
Communicates with chair via Bluetooth
Slide5Glove PrototypeMeant to look more ergonomic
Thumbless
design allowed for ambidextrous controller
Complications with construction led to discarding this version of the glove
Slide6Chair OverviewBoard connected to servo motors
Moves based on information input from glove
Communicates with glove via Bluetooth
Slide7Planned Ambidextrous Glove PrototypeMeant to look more ergonomic
Thumbless
design allowed for ambidextrous controller
Complications with construction led to discarding this version of the glove
Slide8Planned User InterfaceA user interface was considered as an add-on to our original project. The user would be able to program their own hand gesture commands and map them to chair movements.
The idea was cut due to time constraints and complications with construction of the ambidextrous glove prototype.
