Presentation Summary

  • The combination of electronics with textiles provides a platform for ubiquitous sensing to support people in a manifold of situations like hospitalization, rehabilitation, sports etc. A key step towards the acceptance of smart textiles is developing textiles in which electronics are fully integrated.
  • We developed a method to combine electronics with textiles during the weaving process of fabrics. This method allows the integration of sensors and actuators in textiles, as well as the necessary interconnect lines for powering and controlling the electronic devices.
  • As examples of this technology, a bus structure and a matrix structure are realized and presented.
