摘      要：The integration of ultra-soft curvature sensors into textile data gloves is essential to enhance user experience with greater flexibility and adaptability, particularly in various human-machine interface scenarios, including rehabilitation tasks. Current options for such sensors are limited, often relying on strain variance measurements that can introduce significant errors due to stretching interference. Here, the proposed ultra-soft curvature sensor, composed of a soft elastomer and conductive liquid, directly measures curvature with minimal stretching interference, ensuring high performance and reliability. The sensor s microchannel design with embedded nylon ropes and utilizable storage regions provides a wide detection range (0 degrees-180 degrees), low hysteresis (2.46%), and high stability (loading: 3.28%, unloading: 4.29%). This study also presents a data glove integrating flexible curvature sensors and an embedded light-trigger system, aimed at optimizing the human-machine interaction experience through active signal feedback. The design, incorporating real-time feedback mechanisms, is expected to promote physical recovery and a psychological sense of belonging among patients, thereby advancing their autonomy and confidence.
