Remote manipulation devices extend human capabilities over vast distances or in inaccessible environments, removing constraints between patients and treatment. The integration of therapeutic and assistive devices with the Internet of Things (IoT) has demonstrated high potential to develop and enhance intelligent rehabilitation systems in the e-health domain. Within such devices, soft robotic products distinguish themselves through their lightweight and adaptable characteristics, facilitating secure collaboration between humans and robots. The objective of this research is to combine a textile-based sensorized glove with an air-driven soft robotic glove, operated wirelessly using the developed control system architecture. The sensing glove equipped with capacitive sensors on each finger captures the movements of the medical staff's hand. Meanwhile, the pneumatic rehabilitation glove designed to aid patients affected by impaired hand function due to stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury replicates the movements of the medical personnel. The proposed artificial intelligence-based system detects finger gestures and actuates the pneumatic system, responding within an average response time of 48.4 ms. The evaluation of the system further in terms of accuracy and transmission quality metrics verifies the feasibility of the proposed system integrating textile gloves into IoT infrastructure, enabling remote motion sensing and actuation.
远程操作设备可在远距离或难以到达的环境中扩展人类能力,消除患者与治疗之间的限制。治疗和辅助设备与物联网(IoT)的集成已显示出在电子健康领域开发和增强智能康复系统的巨大潜力。在这类设备中,软机器人产品凭借其轻巧和适应性强的特点脱颖而出,便于人与机器人之间的安全协作。本研究的目的是将基于纺织品的传感手套与气动软机器人手套相结合,利用所开发的控制系统架构进行无线操作。配备有电容式传感器的传感手套可捕捉医护人员手部的动作。与此同时,气动康复手套旨在帮助因中风、脑损伤或脊髓损伤而手部功能受损的患者,它能复制医护人员的动作。所提出的基于人工智能的系统可检测手指手势并启动气动系统,平均响应时间为48.4毫秒。根据准确性和传输质量指标对该系统进行的进一步评估验证了将纺织手套集成到物联网基础设施中、实现远程运动传感和驱动的所提系统的可行性。
