Abstract

Abstract Human-machine interface (HMI) is an emerging technology to exchange information between humans and electric devices. In current HMI devices, their crucial sensing components are mainly based on the interaction of physical movements and languages. However, these conventional HMI interacting methods are not friendly to some disabled persons owing to the difficulty to clearly express their intentions with gestures, limb motions, or languages. Additionally, these HMI sensing parts rely on traditional batteries, which require frequent charging or replacing. Here, we report a breath-driven single-electrode triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) serving as a self-powered sensor to deliver control command through breathing for the HMI interaction. The TENG is on the basis of a flexible nanowire-structured polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polymer thin film, which can harvest mechanical energy of the airflow from human breathing and produce responsive electrical signals. By using this TENG as a self-powered sensor together with signal processing and transmitting circuits, a smart wireless breath-driven HMI system is further developed. Compared with the conventional HMI interacting methods, this smart system can convert real-time human breathing into command signals to control electrical appliances without relying on physical movements or languages. This work introduces a self-powered breath-based interacting method to the field of HMI technology. It could greatly reduce the threshold of using modern electrical equipment and personal electronics for disabled people, and make the HMI interaction become more convenient and captivating.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
