Abstract:
Integrating generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots with acoustic perception textiles allows everyday clothing to retrieve information, seek advice, and perform tasks through voice interactions. Here, we present a deep learning (DL)-empowered triboelectric AI acoustic textile (A-Textile) leveraging electrostatic charges on clothing for imperceptible, active voice perception and AI access. The multilayered A-Textile features a composite coating of three-dimensional SnS2 nanoflowers (NFs) embedded in silicone rubber to enhance charge capture and transfer, along with a SnS2 NFs-decorated graphite-like carbonized textile for charge accumulation and preservation. This design maximizes the charge density on the textile, achieving a 21-volt output, 1.2 volts per pascal sensitivity, 1-hertz resolution, and a wide sound response frequency range of 80 to 900 hertz. Using a well-trained DL model, the A-Textile precisely classifies and visualizes voice commands for internet-of-things control and cloud information access. Furthermore, we demonstrate its integration with ChatGPT, providing an intuitive interface for engaging with generative AI services to perform sophisticated tasks.
