Smart Textile

Smart textiles integrate sensors and actuators into fabrics to create wearable devices capable of monitoring physiological signals, enabling human-machine interaction, and providing assistive functionalities. Current research emphasizes developing robust and accurate machine learning models, including contrastive learning and support vector machines, for tasks like user identification, gesture recognition, and anomaly detection from diverse sensor data. These advancements are driving improvements in healthcare (e.g., rehabilitation, fall detection), human-computer interaction, and industrial applications (e.g., ergonomic assistance), offering significant potential for enhancing human capabilities and safety.
