Artificial Neural Network for in-Bed Posture Classification Using Bed-Sheet Pressure Sensors.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Pressure ulcer prevention is a vital procedure for patients undergoing long-term hospitalization. A human body lying posture (HBLP) monitoring system is essential to reschedule posture change for patients. Video surveillance, the conventional method ...

A Novel Fabric-Based Versatile and Stiffness-Tunable Soft Gripper Integrating Soft Pneumatic Fingers and Wrist.

Soft robotics
This work presents the design and test of a novel fabric-based versatile and stiffness-tunable soft gripper integrating soft pneumatic fingers and wrist. The morphology is designed into a compact tuning fork shape (130 × 110 × 260 mm, 389 g) with two...

Human Motion Recognition by Textile Sensors Based on Machine Learning Algorithms.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Wearable sensors for human physiological monitoring have attracted tremendous interest from researchers in recent years. However, most of the research involved simple trials without any significant analytical algorithms. This study provides a way of ...

Detection of Talking in Respiratory Signals: A Feasibility Study Using Machine Learning and Wearable Textile-Based Sensors.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Social isolation and loneliness are major health concerns in young and older people. Traditional approaches to monitor the level of social interaction rely on self-reports. The goal of this study was to investigate if wearable textile-based sensors c...

Application of the removal of pollutants from textile industry wastewater in constructed wetlands using fuzzy logic.

Environmental technology
There are more than a hundred textile industries in Turkey that discharge large quantities of dye-rich wastewater, resulting in water pollution. Such effluents must be treated to meet discharge limits imposed by the Water Framework Directive in Turke...

DFT-assisted machine learning for polyester membrane design in textile wastewater recovery applications.

Water research
Resource recovery from textile wastewater has attracted increasing interest because it simultaneously addresses wastewater treatment and maximizes the utilization of the residual dyes. Although polyester membranes have demonstrated great potential fo...

Sustainable manufacturing of sensors onto soft systems using self-coagulating conductive Pickering emulsions.

Science robotics
Compliant sensors based on composite materials are necessary components for geometrically complex systems such as wearable devices or soft robots. Composite materials consisting of polymer matrices and conductive fillers have facilitated the manufact...

Active Textile Braided in Three Strands with Thin McKibben Muscle.

Soft robotics
This article presents an active textile braided in three strands with thin McKibben muscle. The fabrication of a textile using thin McKibben muscle as thread can be accomplished using a unique braiding method, developed in this study, to provide an a...

Recognition, classification, and prediction of the tactile sense.

Nanoscale
The emulation of the tactile sense is presented with the encoding of a complex surface texture through an electrical sensor device. To achieve a functional capability comparable to a human mechanoreceptor, a tactile sensor is designed by employing a ...

The Many Textures of Robotics: Flexible Materials That Conform to and Interact with the Human Body May Mean Better Outcomes for Patients.

IEEE pulse
Innovative researchers are employing flexible, rather than rigid materials in combination with new design approaches as part of the emerging field of biomedical soft robotics. The idea is to generate tools that conform to and interact with the human ...
