SMART TEXTILE SUITABLE FOR DETECTING MOVEMENT AND/OR DEFORMATION

摘要

A textile suitable for detecting movement and/or deformation comprises an electrically conductive fabric (8) which can expand in at least two directions, electrodes (12) arranged substantially regularly along the periphery of the fabric (8), a controller (14) designed to control the excitation of the electrodes (12) two by two according to a pattern such that all the electrodes (12) are successively excited, and to measure each time the voltage in the non-excited electrodes (12), and a computer (22) comprising a neural network inference engine and designed to receive the voltage measurements taken at the non-excited electrodes (12) in a given excitation cycle, in order to supply them to the neural network inference engine and to return a characteristic measurement of a movement having caused a deformation of the textile.
