University team develops AI suit that recognizes movement
2026-10-29
A research team at National Chung Hsing University’s Department of Material Science and Engineering developed an AI suit that can sense movement through static electricity. The suit doesn’t need any batteries, and it can be used to play games without a keyboard or mouse. It could also help athletes train, and may have applications for remote medicine in the future.
This may look like a normal track suit, but it’s equipped with movement sensors. When the wearer moves their arm or leg, the character in the game echoes the motion.
With this suit, people can play a soccer video game without a keyboard or mouse. This is an AI sensing suit developed by National Chung Hsing University’s Department of Material Science and Engineering.

There’s static electricity when we put on or take off clothes, which can be annoying and maybe useless. We thought that instead of using a joystick to play games as we’ve always done, we could try using the body’s static electricity as a way to detect body movements.
Developed from normal clothing, the suit uses the static electricity generated by the friction between clothing and the wearer’s body to sense movement. It doesn’t even need batteries.

It could be used for soccer and pitching training. It can precisely recognize the movements of pitching or kicking a ball to help athletes train. By simply wearing the suit, athletes can adjust and improve their movements.

There are applications in remote healthcare, like taking a patient’s pulse remotely. During the COVID-19 pandemic, people had to be isolated, so we’re also working on a virtual hug that provides physical feedback.
The team has been developing the technology for over a year. It’s great for gaming and training, and in the future may even be useful for remote medicine.

玩遊戲免鍵盤.滑鼠! 中興大學團隊研發"AI體感智慧衣"
2026-10-29
中興大學材料科學工程系，把惱人的人體靜電變成感測工具，研發出"AI體感智慧衣"，穿上後不用電池，也不用鍵盤、滑鼠，使用者動作都能透過人體靜電感測被系統辨識，除了玩遊戲，還能協助運動員修正動作，未來甚至有機會應用在遠端醫療上。
穿上有如普通運動服裝，連接感測器，投射到螢幕裡，使用者出拳、踢腿，遊戲角色也跟著，複製同樣動作。
連玩遊戲踢足球，不用透過鍵盤、滑鼠操作，穿上這件衣服，就能感測，這是中興大學，材料科學工程系師生，所研發的AI體感智慧衣。

“穿脫衣服的時候都有靜電，這個靜電其實很煩人，也可能沒什麼用，就想說這個我們從以前到現在，玩這個遊戲都利用搖桿，我們想說可不可以利用身體的靜電，然後變成可以感測身體動作的一個方式。”
團隊從日常服裝發想，利用人體和衣服摩擦產生的靜電，來感測動作，完全不用電池，省去充電麻煩。

“我們的應用裡面有踢足球的訓練，或是投球的訓練，它能夠去對於投球或是對於踢足球，這方面動作能夠有更精準的辨識，就能夠對於運動員來進行訓練，只要穿著這件衣服就能夠調整他的運動姿勢。”

“遠端醫療例如遠端把脈，甚至之前新冠肺炎的時候我們要被隔離，我們現在也在做這個虛擬的擁抱，有一個體感的回饋。”
目前系統開發一年多，技術不只應用在遊戲上，也能運用在調整改善運動員動作，未來甚至可以用在遠端醫療。
