The innovations included smart clothing that monitors heart rate and muscle movement, sensors tracking sleep patterns, and ultra-compact urban electric vehicles. Apart from this, AI voice recognition and video management systems for crime detection, smart building management systems, AI-driven digital dartboards and an electronic chess set also drew crowds, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Huang, who enjoys rockstar status in Taiwan, autographed a mannequin wearing gym gear embedded with a strain-sensing module to monitor muscle movement at the Taiwan Textile Research Institute (TTRI) booth inside the Smart Mobility and Drone Tech pavilion at Nangang Exhibition Centre.

Smart clothing to detect heart rate, muscle movement
On display at the booth was smart strain-sensing yarn to detect muscle movement during exercise. “We mix the wires inside the textiles and use this to detect the movement of the body. The wire can be put inside gym gear to detect arm movement. It can be used while exercising. Once connected to the app, it will tell you if your movements are correct. The hardware will connect to the software,” a TTRI representative, who did not want to give her name, told ThePrint. The device reduces the risk of injury while exercising.
