The Design and Validation of an Open-Palm Data Glove for Precision Finger and Wrist Tracking.
Sensors (Basel)
January 2025
Division of Robotics, Swinburne University of Technology, Hawthorn, VIC 3122, Australia.
Wearable motion capture gloves enable the precise analysis of hand and finger movements for a variety of uses, including robotic surgery, rehabilitation, and most commonly, virtual augmentation. However, many motion capture gloves restrict natural hand movement with a closed-palm design, including fabric over the palm and fingers. In order to alleviate slippage, improve comfort, reduce sizing issues, and eliminate movement restrictions, this paper presents a new low-cost data glove with an innovative open-palm and finger-free design.

Tool use to crack open palm nuts has been observed extensively in some capuchin monkey species. However, for southern black-horned capuchin monkeys (Sapajus nigritus cucullatus), there is only one published record of stone tool use from the 1990s, from an urban park in Londrina, Brazil. In the present study, we returned to this urban park to systematically investigate the hammer-and-anvil sites used to crack nuts by this capuchin monkey population.

Hand gestures are a natural and intuitive form of communication, and integrating this communication method into robotic systems presents significant potential to improve human-robot collaboration. Recent advances in motor neuroscience have focused on replicating human hand movements from synergies also known as movement primitives. Synergies, fundamental building blocks of movement, serve as a potential strategy adapted by the central nervous system to generate and control movements.

Dupuytren's disease is a progressive hand disorder characterized by the formation of pathologic nodules and cords in the palm, often leading to progressive flexion contractures. Hand surgery is currently the only efficient treatment to restore hand function, however, reported recurrence rates vary widely. Currently, it remains unclear which type of fasciectomy is associated with the lowest recurrence rate.
