Air pumps help move the fingers of this glove using the Adafruit app. Shared by france.bonde on Instructables:
As the actuators inflate, the rectangles they have on their top push against each other, bending the associated fingers.
The motor that controls the inflation is a device called “FlowIO”. This device is able to inflate, to deflate and to create a vacuum. At this moment the device is using an Adafruit platform controlled by an app on my phone, but my aim is to associate it with another glove with flex-sensors on its fingers, so that the softglove’s movements would mirror the other’s ones.
Every Wednesday is Wearable Wednesday here at Adafruit! We’re bringing you the blinkiest, most fashionable, innovative, and useful wearables from around the web and in our own original projects featuring our wearable Arduino-compatible platform, FLORA. Be sure to post up your wearables projects in the forums or send us a link and you might be featured here on Wearable Wednesday!
