description The development of soft sensors with high sensitivities and good response time is currently researched in great interest, especially in healthcare and soft robotics systems. However, there is a lack of study to equip the soft sensors with a smart feature. Therefore, this study proposes a smart glove that can recognise objects using a support vector machine (SVM), a supervised machine learning algorithm. The input to the smart glove is obtained from the integrated resistive strain-based flexible sensors. The characterisation of the resistive sensor was done, and the sensitivity was found to be 0.0145 kΩ/°. The glove is able to recognise three distinct object shapes with an accuracy of up to 92%. Through AI-based object recognition and its high accuracy, this glove provides a promising solution for a low-cost soft sensor solution for the area of soft robotics.
