This invention describes a smart garment equipped with tiny electrical pads that can both detect electrical signals from a user's muscles and nerves, and apply electrical signals back to them. By interpreting these bio-signals, the garment determines the user's intentions and uses this information to control various objects, such as the user's own body, another person, or a remote machine like a drone. The patent specifically claims a wearable garment where these electrical pads are individually controllable and can both sense and stimulate.
Why it matters: Since 2019, advancements in flexible electronics and machine learning for bio-signal interpretation have made the creation of such a sophisticated, multi-functional wearable garment significantly more feasible. The ability to accurately determine complex control intentions from muscle and nerve activity, and integrate dense, individually addressable electrodes into a comfortable garment, has improved considerably.
