Abstract
Recent advances in electronics, material science, and robotics have led to development of intelligent wearable systems. They have been successfully used for physical health monitoring, gait analysis during rehabilitation, and even optimizing athletic performance. These soft wearable sensors attempt to monitor mechanical parameters and biochemistry of human body. The former attempt to infer stress and joint angles through strain ...
