ABSTRACT
Digital twin attracts numerous attentions in the creation of Metaverse because of its capability of real-time projecting the physical world into the digital counterpart, thereby providing a more intelligent, immersive and comprehensive communication between the physical and virtual world. To construct a digital-twin smart home, versatile Internet of Things (IoT) sensors are required to monitor real-time home-related information. Conventional IoT sensors are mostly based on resistive or capacitive mechanisms which rely heavily on power supplies. Self-powered sensors based on triboelectric mechanisms can be potential candidates to address this issue. However, the practical deployment of triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) based self-powered sensors are still hindered by some intrinsic limitations, such as unstable output in response to the changes in environmental conditions and user behaviours. In this work, we develop a robust triboelectric mat with high tolerance to environmental and user behavior variations. The triboelectric mat consists of an interdigital electrode (IDE)-designed environment-insensitive in-home mat array and a two-channel entry mat at device level. At data analytics level, time-domain analysis and multi-modality deep learning (DL) are utilized. Furthermore, leveraging the comprehensive sensor information and VR technique, a digital-twin smart home is successfully visualized.
