Abstract:Technologies aimed at digitizing worker actions to enhance human labor tasks and mitigate accidents and disabilities have garnered significant attention. This study focuses on monitoring the force exerted by the fingers and developing a wearable fingertip force sensor based on a simple elliptical ring structure in conjunction with a commercially available resistive bend sensor. Resembling a ring accessory, the sensor is easy to attach and detach, and exhibits high sensitivity, with a resistance change of appro… Show more
