A Human‐Computer Interaction Strategy for An FPGA Platform Boosted Integrated “Perception‐Memory” System Based on Electronic Tattoos and Memristors

Abstract

AbstractThe integrated “perception‐memory” system is receiving increasing attention due to its crucial applications in humanoid robots, as well as in the simulation of the human retina and brain. Here, a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platform‐boosted system that enables the sensing, recognition, and memory for human‐computer interaction is reported by the combination of ultra‐thin Ag/Al/Paster‐based electronic tattoos (AAP) and Tantalum Oxide/Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (Ta2O5/IGZO)‐based memristors. Notably, the AAP demonstrates exceptional capabilities in accommodating the strain caused by skin deformation, thanks to its unique structural design, which ensures a secure fit to the skin and enables the prolonged monitoring of physiological signals. By utilizing Ta2O5/IGZO as the functional layer, a high switching ratio is conferred to the memristor, and an integrated system for sensing, distinguishing, storing, and controlling the machine hand of multiple human physiological signals is constructed together with the AAP. Further, the proposed system implements emergency calls and smart homes using facial electromyogram signals and utilizing logical entailment to realize the control of the music interface. This innovative “perception‐memory” integrated system not only serves the disabled, enhancing human‐computer interaction but also provides an alternative avenue to enhance the quality of life and autonomy of individuals with disabilities.
