Human-interactive drone system remotely controlled by printed strain/pressure sensors consisting of carbon-based nanocomposites

We demonstrate human-interactive drone remote control system consisting of high-performance printed strain/pressure sensors with carbon-based nanocomposites, fabricated by all-solution-process at 80 degrees C. The armband-type drone remote control system was designed by a main control operation module, a sensing module and a signal processing module at an overall size of 12 cm x 7 cm x 1.5 cm (width x length x height). Rapid and accurate sensing properties of the sensing module were realized by the structural integration of nanocomposites on flexible/stretchable substrates attached to the human body. Furthermore, simultaneous visualization of processed data on the user's smartphone with an Android application by detecting the movements of human-body in real-time can open up new routes for the upcoming internet of things platform based on nanocomposition in industries. Notably, it is the feasible demonstration of a system-level drone remote controller operated by signal processing in real-time from highly sensitive printed strain/pressure sensors with carbon-based nanocomposites, exhibiting important functionality of waterproof and electric-isolation for human-interactive electronics.
