Recent advances in flexible hydrogel sensors: Enhancing data processing and machine learning for intelligent perception

With the advent of flexible electronics and sensing technology, hydrogel-based flexible sensors have exhibited considerable potential across a diverse range of applications, including wearable electronics and soft robotics. Recently, advanced machine learning (ML) algorithms have been integrated into flexible hydrogel sensing technology to enhance their data processing capabilities and to achieve intelligent perception. However, there are no reviews specifically focusing on the data processing steps and analysis based on the raw sensing data obtained by flexible hydrogel sensors. Here we provide a comprehensive review of the latest advancements and breakthroughs in intelligent perception achieved through the fusion of ML algorithms with flexible hydrogel sensors, across various applications. Moreover, this review thoroughly examines the data processing techniques employed in flexible hydrogel sensors, offering valuable perspectives expected to drive future data-driven applications in this field.

Advanced Bioelectrical Signal Processing Methods: Past, Present, and Future Approach-Part III: Other Biosignals

Analysis of biomedical signals is a very challenging task involving implementation of various advanced signal processing methods. This area is rapidly developing. This paper is a Part III paper, where the most popular and efficient digital signal processing methods are presented. This paper covers the following bioelectrical signals and their processing methods: electromyography (EMG), electroneurography (ENG), electrogastrography (EGG), electrooculography (EOG), electroretinography (ERG), and electrohysterography (EHG).

Eye-Movement-Controlled Wheelchair Based on Flexible Hydrogel Biosensor and WT-SVM

To assist patients with restricted mobility to control wheelchair freely, this paper presents an eye-movement-controlled wheelchair prototype based on a flexible hydrogel biosensor and Wavelet Transform-Support Vector Machine (WT-SVM) algorithm. Considering the poor deformability and biocompatibility of rigid metal electrodes, we propose a flexible hydrogel biosensor made of conductive HPC/PVA (Hydroxypropyl cellulose/Polyvinyl alcohol) hydrogel and flexible PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane) substrate. The proposed biosensor is affixed to the wheelchair user's forehead to collect electrooculogram (EOG) and strain signals, which are the basis to recognize eye movements. The low Young's modulus (286 KPa) and exceptional breathability (18 g m-2 h-1 of water vapor transmission rate) of the biosensor ensures a conformal and unobtrusive adhesion between it and the epidermis. To improve the recognition accuracy of eye movements (straight, upward, downward, left, and right), the WT-SVM algorithm is introduced to classify EOG and strain signals according to different features (amplitude, duration, interval). The average recognition accuracy reaches 96.3%, thus the wheelchair can be manipulated precisely.
