Hiwonder Wireless Glove Open-source Somatosensory Mechanical Glove for Robot Control

The Hiwonder Wireless Glove is an open-source, wearable somatosensory controller designed for intuitive, gesture-based robot manipulation. Fully compatible with the Arduino development environment, this glove is perfect for students, educators, and makers looking to create advanced human-machine interfaces. It comes complete with schematics, source code, and ready-to-use control routines to kickstart your robotics projects.

Open-source Arduino development

This wearable glove functions as a remote transmitter for robot manipulation, featuring a built-in Bluetooth module, accelerometer gyroscope sensor, and LEDs. It is fully open-source and compatible with the Arduino IDE, making it easy to customise and adapt for secondary development.

Wireless Bluetooth control

The glove features a built-in Bluetooth module to seamlessly pair with and control various bionic robots. For compatibility with non-Hiwonder robots, ensure the receiving robot uses a DX-BT24 or HC-08 Bluetooth module.

Precision sensors and encoders

Equipped with five high-accuracy encoders and a single accelerometer sensor, the glove translates physical hand movements into precise robot commands. You can customise combinations of these inputs to transmit tailored control data via Bluetooth.

Versatile application scenarios

This somatosensory glove opens up a wide range of interactive possibilities, allowing you to control robotic arms, bionic hands, or multi-axis rovers through natural hand gestures.

Integrated hardware layout

The onboard hardware integrates essential electronic components, including status LEDs, processing units, and wireless communication modules, to form a cohesive wearable control system.
