A wearable system based on a breathable cloth wristband equipped with stretchable strain gauge sensors were assembled and tested to detect a set of 16 different hand gestures. The sensors embedded on the wristband prototype do not require a direct contact with the skin, thus maximizing comfort. To evaluate the performance of the developed band, different gestures were labelled by using grasping information detected in real-time by commercial Force-Sensing Resistor (FSR) sensors. Signals recorded by the ...
