Bent Fingers’ Angles Calculation

Book cover Robust Hand Gesture Recognition for Robotic Hand Control

Abstract

Hands play an important role in the execution of many important tasks in the daily lives of humans as well for a number of other special purposes. The shape of the human hand is such that it is able to easily perform a number of otherwise tedious tasks. It can bend its fingers to different angles to pick up or to hold objects and to apply force via fingers or the palm area. In a number of scenarios, a human hand can perform the tasks much more efficiently than a machine shaft. This is due to the ability of a human hand to operate over a number of degrees of freedom and its ability to bend fingers at different angles.
