have
received
extensive
development across the world towards diverse
applications in healthcare, sports monitoring, and smart
home. Socks with sensing capabilities can reveal more
direct sensory information on the body for longer duration
in daily life. Textiles-based Triboelectric nanogenerator
(T-TENG) not only could be an optimal option for scavenging
low-frequency waste energy from body motions as a power
source, but also can be used as self-powered sensors
due to its soft, flexible, and thin characteristics. With
the integration of a high-voltage diode and a mechanical
switch, the T-TENG socks are able to generate a high
closed-loop current which is used to harvest energy from
normal walking to power a Bluetooth module for wireless
sensory data transmission under Internet of Things
(IoT) framework. In addition, leveraging personalized
triboelectric output features, artificial intelligence (AI)
based comprehensive gait analysis can tell us about the
identification, health condition, and activity of the users.
In general, the smart triboelectric socks offer a complete
AIoT platform in the applications of foot-based energy
harvesting and monitoring the diversified physiological
signals for healthcare and smart homes.
