本論文的目的為，開發一款以 Flex Sensor 為基礎的智慧手套系統。該系統透過 Flex Sensor 感測手指的細微動作變化，並使用 Gated Recurrent Unit(GRU) 辨識複雜的手指連續手勢。在智慧手套的硬體層面，具備有高續航力以及高耐久等優點；法則層面，解決了連續多個手勢間，複雜的轉接造成的辨識問題；以及解決了因手指動作較難有明確的起始與終止，所造成的重複與不完美手勢問題。在應用層面，本論文提出 Detection 法則，判斷手勢的當前狀態。使本論文開發的智慧手套，不需藉由額外的裝置按鈕，進行起始與結束的控制。綜合以上的優點，說明本論文提出的智慧手套系統的實用性。
