Intent Communication to Robot from Human via Glove-mounted Force Sensors

A system and a method for controlling a system are described. The system includes a plurality of sensors configured to be worn on a user's body. The plurality of sensors are configured to generate a plurality of signals in response to forces applied by corresponding portions of a user's body. The system also includes a processor configured to receive the plurality of signals. The processor is configured to identify commands from the user based at least partly on the plurality of signals and an operational range and/or null space of the plurality of signals for a task being performed by the user. The processor is configured to control an operation of the system based on the identified commands.
