Triboelectric nanogenerators show great potential as flexible motion transducers for wearable human-machine interfaces (HMI). The present research explores a new configuration named Non-Attached Electrode-Dielectric Triboelectric Sensor (NEDTS) and its application in specialized HMI to support people with disabilities in daily life. In this topology, the conductive electrodes are not bonded to the dielectric materials by any coating or sputtering process. Instead, due to the triboelectric interaction between the two elements in motion, voltage is generated in a separate conductor by non-contact electrostatic induction. This allows a near field remote sensing using triboelectric/electrostatic coupling. By applying the mentioned sensing technique, an Orbicularis Oculi muscle motion sensor has been developed to monitor voluntary and involuntary eye blinks. The new transducer is integrated into a portable HMI for hands-free computer cursor control to assist people with mobility impairment. The conceived device was also tested in other applications as hands-free remote car and drone control, and for monitoring driving behaviour. Additionally, a PDMS-based eyelid motion sensor has been tested to feature other virtues of the NEDTS when sensing unconventional motion dynamics.

摩擦电动纳米发电机作为可穿戴式人机界面（HMI）的柔性运动传感器具有巨大的潜力。本研究探索了一种名为非连接式电介质摩擦式电传感器（NEDTS）的新配置及其在专用HMI中的应用，以支持残疾人的日常生活。在这种拓扑结构中，导电电极不会通过任何涂层或溅射工艺键合到介电材料上。相反，由于运动中两个元素之间的摩擦电相互作用，电压通过非接触式静电感应在单独的导体中生成。这允许使用摩擦电/静电耦合进行近场遥感。通过应用上述传感技术，Orbicularis Oculi肌肉运动传感器已经开发出来，可以监测自愿和非自愿的眨眼。新的换能器已集成到便携式HMI中，用于免提计算机光标控制，以帮助行动不便的人。这个设想的设备还在其他应用中进行了测试，例如免提远程汽车和无人机控制，以及用于监控驾驶行为。此外，基于PDMS的眼睑运动传感器已经过测试，可在感知非常规运动动态时具有NEDTS的其他优点。
