Abstract
Spacesuit provide the basic life support for astronauts in the space environment. Astronauts in extravehicular operations need spacesuit for pressure to form a vacuum protection. However the suit pressure caused greater joint activity resistance impact on the operation of astronauts. The wearable sensors have drawn more and more attention because its operations are simple and real-time detections are available. It can realize the benefits of heart rate, breathing, sweat, action recognition and date acquisition, etc. The joint resistance characteristics of spacesuit is revealed under pressure were studied by wearing flexible wearable sensors, which provides a theoretical basis for improving the performance of spacesuit. Based on the above problems, this paper summarizes the latest research progress of wearable flexible sensor category and application of different types of flexible sensors. Finally, the challenges in the application of flexible wearable sensors in the spacesuit were discussed. It provides a theoretical basis for the research in related fields.
期刊介绍:
Sensing and Bio-Sensing Research is an open access journal dedicated to the research, design, development, and application of bio-sensing and sensing technologies. The editors will accept research papers, reviews, field trials, and validation studies that are of significant relevance. These submissions should describe new concepts, enhance understanding of the field, or offer insights into the practical application, manufacturing, and commercialization of bio-sensing and sensing technologies.
The journal covers a wide range of topics, including sensing principles and mechanisms, new materials development for transducers and recognition components, fabrication technology, and various types of sensors such as optical, electrochemical, mass-sensitive, gas, biosensors, and more. It also includes environmental, process control, and biomedical applications, signal processing, chemometrics, optoelectronic, mechanical, thermal, and magnetic sensors, as well as interface electronics. Additionally, it covers sensor systems and applications, µTAS (Micro Total Analysis Systems), development of solid-state devices for transducing physical signals, and analytical devices incorporating biological materials.
