NASA SPACE APPS #H4CK47H0NSpaceGlove Challenge : Change the way crew members and operators interact with computer systems using gestures and voice control.
Problem • The spacesuit and spaceglove are relatively very rigid and
make the normal human – machine interaction difficult, Analog controls and touchscreens are the most common UI onboard a spacecraft
• The traditional UI’s require physical proximity with the instrument/device being used
• Spacesuit is used when the astronaut is outside the main spacecraft, and precision control is imperative
• For the first time, some innovations in consumer tech industry have outpaced the space research due to funding constraints, and can be leveraged in the latter.
Features :- Control devices/systems wirelessly using advanced EMG driven gesture recognition
- Monitor the muscle activity and health in real time- Voice commands to search part information from entire catalogue for any repairs during spacewalk
- ‘ Point and know ‘ let’s you navigate in real time on any planet during a spacewalk
- Let’s you take selfies in outer space
Scenario 1
MARS
Rover
Spacecraft Astronaut
Controlling rover on mars using EMG gestures
Gesture (y)
Gesture recognized by server and command issued to rover
USP #1 : EMG Gestures• Electromyography ( EMG ) electrical activity produced by
the skeletal muscles• Sensor detects the electrical potential generated by
muscle cells when these cells are electrically or neurologically activated
• Our software interprets the different level of activity produced by different gestures and translates it into cmd
• Highly reliable as compared to other gesture technologies
USP #2 : Voice Control• The Speech Recognition API provided by Google and the
TTS engine primarily control the voice control module of Spock. There are primarily two functions performed:
• Knowledge repository: The user can get information, location and other variables about the parts on the spacecraft etc.
• Navigational control: By using the device sensors, the user can get information about the coordinates and celestial bodies simply by pointing the glove in any direction.
• In-device actions: Certain commands have been programmed to perform internal actions like taking a selfie,
