Cover Story: A triboelectric technology-based all-in-one self-powered HMI system for wireless remote telemetry and the control of intelligent cars is proposed. A self-charging power unit containing woven TENGs, supercapacitors, and a power management circuit was exploited to harvest mechanical energy from the human body and provided power for the whole system. A smart glove designed with five TENGs on the dorsum of five fingers acts as a gesture sensor to generate signal permutations and is processed by the microcontroller, then wirelessly transmitted to the intelligent car for remote telemetry and control. This work is of paramount potential for the application of various terminal devices in self-powered HMI systems with high integration for wearable electronics. View this paper.
