Flexpoint Bend Sensors are the perfect sensors for bending applications. The Sensors change in resistance when they are bent which makes them easy to interface to a variety of electronic circuits.
One of the best uses of the Bend Sensor is measuring the bend of fingers on your hand
Flexpoint Glove Kit Features:
- Bend sensors on MCP joints (metacarpo-phalangeal joints) and on Proximal IP joints (interphalangeal joints) to measure bend of fingers on hand.
- Accelerometer/magnetometer to measure hand orientation.
- Wireless Bluetooth interface or USB interface.3D software for Windows to display virtual hand based on sensor inputs
The Bend Sensor can be used to not only measure the bend of the fingers but also the side to side motion of the fingers (abduction and adduction). To measure this Bend Sensors can be placed pre-bent in between the fingers.
Bend Sensors can also be used to measure pressure. Therefore, placing sensors at the tips of the fingers or on the inside of the fingers allows the system to measure grip pressure or touch pressure.
