[0079] Step S1, forming an upper packaging layer 1 and a lower packaging layer 7 by cutting process using a polyimide (PI) film;

[0086] Step S8, bonding the lower packaging layer 7 with the bottom of the sensor main structure to completely encapsulate the sensor structure.

[0087] The step S3 specifically comprises:

[0088] Step S31, preparing a hydrogel dispersion solution to ensure uniform dispersion of polyacrylic acid in the solution;

[0089] Step S32, slowly immersing the non-woven fabric substrate in the polyacrylic acid hydrogel solution preheated to 60°C for 3 minutes to ensure that the non-woven fabric is completely covered with the solution;

[0090] Step S33, taking out the non-woven fabric substrate and placing it in an environment with a temperature of 25°C for 5 minutes to ensure that the solution is fully absorbed by the non-woven fabric;

[0091] Step S34, repeating steps S32 and S33 to enhance the thickness and uniformity of the hydrogel layer;

[0092] Step S35, dry the treated non-woven fabric under good ventilation or at 40°C for 1 hour to form the hydrogel layer 3;

[0093] The step S4 is specifically:

[0094] Step S41, prepare a graphene dispersion solution to ensure uniform dispersion of graphene in the solution;

[0095] Step S42, immerse the non-woven fabric in the graphene dispersion solution for 5 minutes to ensure uniform coverage of the graphene solution on the surface of the non-woven fabric;

[0096] Step S43, take out the non-woven fabric and control the ambient temperature at 25°C for 5 minutes to ensure that the graphene solution is fully absorbed by the non-woven fabric;

[0097] Step S44, repeat steps S42 and S43 to enhance the conductivity and uniformity of the graphene layer;

[0098] Step S45, dry the treated non-woven fabric under good ventilation or at 40°C for 1 hour to form the graphene layer 4.

[0099] Specifically, by constructing an asymmetric structure inside the material, i.e., the hydrogel layer 3 and the graphene layer 4, this structural design causes the functional groups or water content inside the hydrogel layer 3 to exhibit a gradient distribution, thereby maintaining a constant voltage at the interface between the hydrogel layer 3 and the graphene layer 4 without external force.

[0100] When the sensor is subjected to vibrations caused by the movement of the humanoid robot, the micro-environment changes induced by the vibrations temporarily disturb the ion migration balance in the hydrogel layer. Specifically, the ion concentration gradient between the hydrogel layer 3 and the graphene layer 4 promotes the formation of a stable voltage at the two interfaces. Due to the larger size of anions, which are bound to conjugated structures or long chains and cannot freely migrate, cations migrate from high-concentration areas to low-concentration areas under the action of an electric field, forming a gradient structure of cations.

[0101] Under the continuous action of the ion concentration gradient, the migration of cations produces a stable voltage output. When the sensor encounters external vibrations, the ion migration pattern temporarily changes due to the vibrations, causing a temporary disturbance in the distribution of cations, which in turn causes voltage fluctuations. This transient voltage fluctuation directly reflects the intensity and frequency of the vibrations.

[0102] When the vibrations stop, the ion migration pattern in the hydrogel layer 3 gradually returns to equilibrium over time, and the cations redistribute under the electric field force generated by the anions, returning to their original stable distribution state. The flexible circuit board 6 is responsible for collecting these voltage changes, converting mechanical vibrations into measurable electrical signals, and achieving sensitive perception of vibrations.

[0103] The working process of the sensor is as follows:

[0104] Step A1: Sensor Installation: According to the specific application scenarios and needs of humanoid robots, appropriate installation locations are selected, usually at key motion joints or areas requiring vibration monitoring. The sensor is fixed to the surface of the humanoid robot, ensuring that it does not shift or fall off during the movement of the humanoid robot.

[0105] Step A2: Sensor Activation: After installation, the sensor is exposed to the environment, naturally absorbing moisture from the surroundings. This step is crucial for activating the moisture power generation unit in the sensor, as the presence of moisture is a prerequisite for generating electrical energy. When the sensor absorbs sufficient moisture, the internal voltage will gradually stabilize.

[0106] Step A3: Vibration Signal Conversion: When the humanoid robot moves, the sensor monitors and captures the vibrations caused by the movement in real time. These vibrations are converted into voltage changes through the interaction of the hydrogel layer and the graphene layer. The graphene layer enhances the sensitivity of the sensor, ensuring accurate capture of vibration signals.

[0107] Step A4: Data Recording and Processing: The captured electrical signals are amplified by the built-in circuit system and converted into digital signals, which are then stored in the sensor data processing module. These data can be transmitted to the robot control system in real time or saved for subsequent analysis.

[0108] Step A5: Sensor Standby and Maintenance: When the humanoid robot stops running, i.e., the humanoid robot no longer generates vibrations or movements, the sensor will automatically enter a low-power standby mode. In this mode, the sensor energy consumption is minimized to ensure that the sensor can save energy to the maximum extent during inactivity.

[0109] In practical applications, the sensor of the present application can be seamlessly integrated into the humanoid robot control system. The sensor transmits the collected vibration data to the central processing unit in real time through the built-in data processing module. These data are then used for robot motion analysis and environmental adaptability evaluation. In addition, the sensor output signal can be fused with other perception modules on the robot, such as visual, tactile, or sound sensor data, thereby providing a comprehensive environmental perception capability and enhancing the robot's understanding and response ability to the surrounding environment.

[0110] Through the above implementation, the sensor of the present application realizes high sensitivity vibration sensing. When the humanoid robot moves, the sensor can accurately capture the voltage changes caused by the movement and convert these changes into electrical signals that can be used by the robot control system. This self-powered design eliminates the need for external power supply, thereby improving the practicality and reliability of the sensor. At the same time, the modular design of the sensor simplifies the maintenance and replacement process, reduces long-term operating costs, and prolongs the service life.

Claims

1. A wearable flexible vibration sensing sensor for humanoid robots, characterized in that: It includes an upper encapsulation layer, a moisture-absorbing layer, a hydrogel layer, a graphene layer, an electrode layer, a flexible circuit board, and a lower encapsulation layer; The upper encapsulation layer is located on top of the sensor and is used to protect the internal structure of the sensor; The moisture-absorbing layer is located below the upper encapsulation layer and is made of polyacrylic acid and a flexible non-woven fabric base to enhance the ability to absorb moisture from the environment. The hydrogel layer is located below the moisture-absorbing layer and is made of a hydrogel solution and a flexible non-woven fabric substrate; The graphene layer is located below the hydrogel layer and is made of graphene solution and flexible nonwoven fabric substrate; The electrode layer is disposed below the graphene layer and is used to collect the voltage generated by ion migration between the hydrogel layer and the graphene layer.

The lower encapsulation layer is located at the bottom of the sensor and is used to protect the internal structure of the sensor. Its area is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the hydrogel layer, graphene layer, electrode layer, and flexible circuit board to ensure that the entire sensor structure is completely encapsulated. By constructing an asymmetric structure within the material, namely a hydrogel layer and a graphene layer, the functional groups or water content within the hydrogel layer are made to exhibit a gradient distribution, thereby maintaining a constant voltage at the interface between the hydrogel layer and the graphene layer when no external force is applied. When the sensor vibrates due to the movement of the humanoid robot, the resulting microenvironmental changes instantaneously disturb the ion migration equilibrium in the hydrogel layer. The ion concentration gradient between the hydrogel layer and the graphene layer facilitates the formation of a stable voltage at the interface. Due to the large size of anions, they are bound to conjugated structures or long chains and cannot migrate freely, while cations migrate from high-concentration regions to low-concentration regions under the influence of the electric field, forming a cation gradient structure. Under the continuous influence of the ion concentration gradient, cation migration generates a stable voltage output; when the sensor encounters external vibration, the instantaneous change in the ion migration mode caused by the vibration leads to a brief disturbance in the cation distribution, which in turn causes voltage fluctuations. When the vibration stops, the ion migration pattern within the hydrogel layer gradually returns to equilibrium over time.
