Devices that track the human body movement are heavily used in numerous and various fields like medicine, automation and entertainment. The work proposed is focused on the design of a modular device able track the flection of human hand phalanxes. The overall system composed by two parts: a computer program interface and a modular wearable system applied to the finger whose motion is to be monitored. The wearable device is equipped with an Inertial Motion Unit (IMU) with the purpose to detect the first phalanx orientation and a stretch sensor applied between the first and the second phalanx to recognize the flection angle. The configuration is completed with a microcontroller unit (ATmega328P) and a Bluetooth Low Power Module (RN4871) to ensure a reliable and easy to implement communication channel. We conduct two main set of tests to verify the global functionalities. In the first set the device is used to track the full flexion of a single finger while in the second we test the device capability to recognize different grabbed objects starting from the data retrieved from two fingers. The preliminary results open the possibility of a future development focused on a modular device composed by five elements, one for each hand finger and able to detect complex gesture like pinch, spread or tap. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.
