Abstract

This paper outlines the design and developmental process of producing a prototype for a low cost human-robot interface, the primary concept of the project is to create a wearable glove controller that is both low cost and effective which is able to control a robotic hand with minimal level of accuracy, alongside the glove controller a simple robotic hand will go along with it to prove the concept works. Further development of the glove controller would allow for higher accuracy, improved design and possible experimentation within VR and haptics.
