Finger Bending Sensing Based on Series-Connected Fiber Bragg Gratings

Materials (Basel). 2022 May 12;15(10):3472. doi: 10.3390/ma15103472.

Abstract

Smart wearable devices are occupying an increasingly important position in scientific research and people's life fields. As an indispensable component of smart wearable devices, sensors play a crucial role in their sensing and feedback capabilities. In this paper, we investigate the bending gesture sensing for the most dexterous part of human anatomy, the finger. Based on series-connected fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), recognition of finger bending posture is achieved by MATLAB modeling and the cubic spline interpolation.
