Abstract:Human motion recognition based on wearable devices plays a vital role in pervasive computing. Smartphones have built-in motion sensors that measure the motion of the device with high precision. In this paper, we propose a human lower limb motion capture and recognition approach based on a Smartphone. We design a motion logger to record five categories of limb activities (standing up, sitting down, walking, going upstairs, and going downstairs) using two motion sensors (tri-axial accelerometer, tri-axial gyrosc… Show more
“…Flexible wearable sensors have attracted much attention because of their similar function with human skin. , These sensors play a crucial role in converting external stimuli into bioelectronic signals, thereby finding widespread applications in areas such as electronic skin, − bionic robot, , and artificial limb . However, the design of wearable strain sensors needs a holistic approach that takes into account a range of integrated requirements.…”

These essential considerations encompass the attainment of flexible-tough mechanical characteristics, effective skin adhesive properties, biocompatibility, and antidrying effects for long-term usability.…”
Although conductive hydrogels (CHs) have been investigated
as the
wearable sensor in recent years, how to prepare the multifunctional
CHs with long-term usability is still a big challenge. In this paper,
we successfully prepared a kind of conductive and self-adhesive hydrogel
with a simple method, and its excellent ductility makes it possible
as a flexible strain sensor for intelligent monitoring. The CHs are
constructed by poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), polydopamine (PDA), and
phytic acid (PA) through the freeze–thaw cycle method. The
introduction of PA enhanced the intermolecular force with PVA and
provided much H+ for augmented conductivity, while the
catechol group on PDA endows the hydrogel with self-adhesion ability.
The PVA/PA/PDA hydrogel can directly contact with the skin and adhere
to it stably, which makes the hydrogel potentially a wearable strain
sensor. The PVA/PA/PDA hydrogel can monitor human motion signals (including
fingers, elbows, knees, etc.) in real-time and can accurately monitor
tiny electrical signals for smile and handwriting recognition. Notably,
the composite CHs can be used in a normal environment even after 4
months. Because of its excellent ductility, self-adhesiveness, and
conductivity, the PVA/PA/PDA hydrogel provides a new idea for wearable
bioelectronic sensors.
