Description

A new wearable and flexible sensor is set to provide real-time intelligent monitoring of athletes at the Paris Olympics. Also, this smart monitoring will include real-time feedback on their performance.

some speed games, such as badminton, are accompanied by quick movements and reactions. Also, scoring points in these types of games is difficult to do and requires immediate and fast reactions. Researchers at Liu Liang University have used cutting-edge technologies and sports science to develop a tool that can help players in the discipline reach their full potential. In this method, which has been developed based on the intelligent monitoring system, there is a wearable and flexible sensor that provides real-time feedback on the player's performance. According to the researchers, the sensor is a convenient, inexpensive and cost-effective solution that can bypass the limitations of current performance monitoring systems.

The active and dynamic nature of sports such as badminton, which is associated with complex movements and flexible physical characteristics, can provide many challenges for analyzing the players' operators. Current methods, such as filming or using rigid sensors, also have limitations in providing complete information about the player's posture, arm rotation, muscle strength, leg movement, etc.

Yoon Yang, one of the authors of the study, said in his press release that his expertise in technologies related to flexible sensors and systems related to intelligent perception was used in monitoring the movement of badminton players. Also, badminton techniques were integrated for quantitative analysis so that badminton players could be accompanied by more professional guidance. The sensors in question include a special material called triboelectric, which can absorb the resulting electrical charge if two different materials are worn. This makes it no longer necessary to use an external power source and it is very easy to wear the device and use it on different parts of the body.
