Smart Glove v2 Electronic Sensor Array

Having the ability to measure and display the weight of lifted objects, along with work performed, provides valuable information to employees and companies. Workers can control how much work they are performing when carrying or lifting objects and use the data to limit excessive exertion, reducing the risk of repetitive stress injuries.

This team designed, developed, integrated and tested a novel flexible sensor array that measures weight lifted and work performed.

The Smart Glove uses an inductive sensor to measure the weight of an object held by the user, instantaneously and over time. This weight is measured at a frequency of 20 Hz and subsequently summed to display a total quantified weight in addition to the time under tension, to within 5% accuracy. The Smart Glove is intended for use in warehouses and gyms.
