Flexible and wearable electronics have huge potential applications in human motion detection, human–computer interaction, and context identification, which have promoted the rapid development of flexible sensors. So far the sensor manufacturing techniques are complex and require a large number of organic solvents, which are harmful not only to human health but also to the environment. Here, we propose a facile solvent-free preparation toward a flexible pressure and stretch sensor based on a hierarchical layer of graphene nanoplates. The resulting sensor exhibits many merits, including near-linear response, low strain detection limits to 0.1%, large strain gauge factor up to 36.2, and excellent cyclic stability withstanding more than 1000 cycles. Besides, the sensor has an extraordinary pressure range as large as 700 kPa. Compared to most of the reported graphene-based sensors, this work uses a completely environmental-friendly method that does not contain any organic solvents. Moreover, the sensor can practically realize the delicate detection of human body activity, speech recognition, and handwriting recognition, demonstrating a huge potential for wearable sensors.

Wearable sensors for human physiological monitoring have attracted tremendous interest from researchers in recent years. However, most of the research was only done in simple trials without any significant analytical algorithms. This study provides a way of recognizing human motion by combining textile stretch sensors based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and spandex fabric (PET/SP) and machine learning algorithms in a realistic applications. In the study, the performance of the system will be evaluated by identification rate and accuracy of the motion standardized. This research aims to provide a realistic motion sensing wearable products without unnecessary heavy and uncomfortable electronic devices.

Action recognition is important for various applications, such as, ambient intelligence, smart devices, and healthcare. Automatic recognition of human actions in daily living environments, mainly using wearable sensors, is still an open research problem of the field of pervasive computing. This research focuses on extracting a set of features related to human motion, in particular the motion of the upper and lower limbs, in order to recognize actions in daily living environments, using time-series of joint orientation. Ten actions were performed by five test subjects in their homes: cooking, doing housework, eating, grooming, mouth care, ascending stairs, descending stairs, sitting, standing, and walking. The joint angles of the right upper limb and the left lower limb were estimated using information from five wearable inertial sensors placed on the back, right upper arm, right forearm, left thigh and left leg. The set features were used to build classifiers using three inference algorithms: Naive Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbours, and AdaBoost. The F- m e a s u r e average of classifying the ten actions of the three classifiers built by using the proposed set of features was 0.806 ( σ = 0.163).
