2022: Smart Glove Announcement
At St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University named after V.I. Ulyanova (Lenin) (SPbGETU "LETI") developed a "smart" glove for medical operations. The university told about this in November 2022.
The device will allow the operator to remotely control various manipulators, including medical ones. By using new materials developed in LETI, it was possible to reduce the cost and increase the durability of the product in comparison with existing analogues.
The "smart" glove system consists of a set of sensors (sensors that recognize the movements of the fingers in the glove), devices for transmitting and processing the signal. The components of the robot were printed on a 3D printer, servo drives provide movement of the manipulator. LETI scientists emphasize that the created "smart" glove has many analogues.
However, there are also differences: the sensors, which are the most expensive and important element of the glove, are based on cheaper and longer-lasting materials. For this, a technology was developed for the production of new ionic electroactive polymers, namely ionic polymer-polymer-metal composites, which combine polymer and metal electrodes.
 | We have developed a "smart" glove - in fact, it is an ordinary fabric glove with sensors mounted on it, with which you can remotely control various manipulators. In this project, we have created a prototype of roboruka, which can remotely perform various actions, repeating the movements of the operator's brush in a glove, - said Ivan Khmelnytsky, associate professor of the Department of Micro- and Nanoelectronics (MNE) of St. Petersburg State Technical University "LETI." |  |
The need for smart suits today arises in a variety of areas of life, including medicine, sports, industry, fashion and design. According to experts, the global smart clothing market is developing dynamically today, and by 2027 the last (third) generation will use artificial intelligence algorithms in its work, which will increase the efficiency of smart clothing elements.[1]
