AB  - The implementation of signal filters in a real-time form requires a tradeoff 
      between computation resources and the system performance. Therefore, taking 
      advantage of low lag response and the reduced consumption of resources, in this 
      article, the Recursive Least Square (RLS) algorithm is used to filter a signal 
      acquired from a fiber-optics-based sensor. In particular, a Long-Period Fiber 
      Grating (LPFG) sensor is used to measure the bending movement of a finger. After 
      that, the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) technique allows us to classify the 
      corresponding finger position along the motion range. For these measures to help 
      in the development of an autonomous robotic hand, the proposed technique can be 
      straightforwardly implemented on real time platforms such as Field Programmable 
      Gate Array (FPGA) or Digital Signal Processors (DSP). Different angle 
      measurements of the finger's motion are carried out by the prototype and a 
      detailed analysis of the system performance is presented.
