Abstract

This paper proposes a low-cost, energy-efficient exoskeleton system using bidirectional triboelectric sensors to monitor human upper limb movements. The system tracks multiple degrees of freedom (DOFs) and uses the collected data to control virtual characters and robotic arms in real-time. Kinetic analysis of the sensor data provides additional physical parameters, enhancing the system's functionality. This approach offers a cost-effective and advanced human-machine interface for various applications, including robotic automation, healthcare, and training.
