Sign Language Recognition Glove Kit
Sign Language Recognition Glove Kit: Real-Time Hand Gesture Mirroring with Arduino
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Create a functional sign language interpreter that physically mirrors hand gestures using a sensor-loaded glove and a tendon-actuated 3D-printed hand. Perfect for accessibility research, assistive technology prototyping, or exploring bio-inspired robotics, this kit delivers a complete platform for gesture-to-motion replication.
What You'll Build
A wearable glove that captures finger flexion via five flex sensors and force-sensitive resistors, controlling a 15-tendon robotic hand in real time. Each finger is actuated by an MG90S servo motor through fishing-line tendons, allowing the hand to replicate the operator's sign language gestures with fluid motion. The system is powered by an Arduino Mega 2560 and a PCA9685 PWM driver, ready for integration into sign language translation research or educational demonstrations.
What You'll Learn
- Precision mapping of analog sensor signals to servo positions using linear interpolation or PID logic
- Designing and calibrating a multi-degree-of-freedom tendon-driven mechanism
- Integrating I2C PWM servo drivers (PCA9685) with Arduino to control multiple servos simultaneously
- Assembling wearable sensor circuits with flex sensors and force-sensitive resistors, including noise filtering with capacitors

Who This Kit Is For
Engineers and researchers developing assistive technology for sign language translation. B.Tech and M.Tech final-year students in ECE, mechatronics, or biomedical engineering. Smart India Hackathon teams tackling accessibility challenges. Labs at IITs, NITs, and VIT exploring human-robot interaction. Also suitable for educators demonstrating bio-inspired robotics at advanced ATL Tinkering Labs.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to access the AI companion trained on this exact glove. It provides step-by-step debugging and calibration tips. You can also message us on WhatsApp for direct support.
Can this glove translate sign language into speech or text?
The kit mirrors gestures physically; translation requires additional software and a speech/text module. Our AI companion can guide you on integrating a display or voice synthesizer as an extension.
Is the soldering iron included, and do I need prior soldering experience?
Yes, a soldering iron and solder wire are included. Basic soldering skill is needed for sensor circuits; the AI companion includes soldering guidance for beginners.
How durable is the 3D-printed hand for repeated demonstrations?
The PLA hand is robust for lab and classroom use. We recommend keeping tendon tension moderate and storing the hand away from heat to extend its life.
Accessibility — 15-tendon five-finger hand driven by 5 servo motors. Flex sensors mirror operator hand in real time.
