as the components of the IoT network, and they will generate massive data with multidimensions, higher velocity, and improved heterogeneity. [2] Benefiting from this, our world is developing toward a smarter and more well-knit green earth, covering essential blocks like smart homes, smart agriculture, smart cities, smart industries as well as outer space and airlines. [3] In the green earth, the IoT systems are promising to be spread in every smart area, consisting of various sensing modules, signal processing modules, power management modules, power supply modules, etc. Sensing modules are applied to collect abundant information from the target objects or environment, such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, gas concentration, pressure, etc. And the signal processing modules help with the data transmission, processing, and analysis to connect and exchange information with other devices or systems to provide an optimal command to the target object or environment. In addition, the power management modules and power supply modules are to provide the most efficient solutions to reduce the overall power consumption in the operations of the IoT systems. [4][5][6] Thus, looking at the whole earth, it is to be closely connected with the IoT systems, enabling information transfer and communication over the strong network.Narrowing down to a single object like the human body, a single animal, or a robot, wearable electronics have attracted increasing research interest owing to their promising applications in real-time and precious monitoring and tracking of user's preferences and habits on the green earth. [7][8][9][10] Conventional wearable electronics involve smart watches, smart glasses, smart helmets, etc., while most of them are fabricated from nonflexible or rigid materials, resulting in limited wearable comfort, device lifetime, latency response, and loss of sensing information. [11][12][13] To address these issues, the current research focuses on the investigation of sensing materials with flexibility or even stretchability, breathability, washability, lightweight, adhesiveness, etc., enabling improved wearing comfort and long-term wearability. [14][15][16][17] Besides the wearability of the modules in the IoT system, energy issue is within wide research interest and concern as one of the urgent issues contemporarily. Batteries, as the dominant choices for power supply modules, are now revealed asThe advancement of the Internet of Things/5G infrastructure requires a lowcost ubiquitous sensory network to realize an autonomous system for information collection and processing, aiming at diversified applications ranging from healthcare, smart home, industry 4.0 to environmental monitoring. The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is considered the most promising technology due to its self-powered, cost-effective, and highly customizable advantages. Through the use of wearable electronic devices, advanced TENG technology is developed as a core technology enabling self-powered sensors, power supplies, and data comm...

“…To enable the dexterous sensing of various stimuli, several sensing mechanisms are adopted, ranging from resistive, capacitive sensors to triboelectric- and piezoelectric-based self-powered sensors. − The efficient interaction with humans requires wearable devices with synapse-like functions which provide tactile, temperature, vibration, and other sensation information. − Starting from polymer- and fabric-based flexible devices, the revolution of materials brings the possibility of fabricating e-skin- or e-tattoo-like thin film sensors which mimic or even boost the sensing capabilities of human skin, − such as skin mechanoreceptors, which usually possess slow adapting (SA) and fast adapting (FA) sensation to a mechanical stimulus. Meanwhile, as the human hand is in charge of the major working tasks, it makes sensory gloves the key research direction in HMIs. , To achieve better flexibility, several new materials or mechanisms are adopted as well, such as liquid metal, fabrics, silicone, other polymer, , etc.…”

Immersive communications rely on smart perception based on diversified and augmented sensing and feedback technologies. However, the increasing of functional components also raises the issue of increased system complexity. Here, we propose a modular soft glove with multimodal sensing and feedback functions by exploring and utilizing the multiple properties of glove materials. With a single design of basic structure, the main functional unit possesses triboelectric-based sensing of static and dynamic contact, vibration, strain, and pneumatic actuation. Additionally, the same unit is also capable of offering pneumatic tactile haptic feedback and electroresistive thermal haptic feedback. Together with a machine learning algorithm, the proposed glove not only performs real-time detection of dexterous hand motion and direct feedback but also realizes intelligent object recognition and augmented feedback, which significantly enhance the communication and perception of more comprehensive information. In general, this glove utilizes a facile designed sensing and feedback device to achieve dual-way and multimodal communication among humans, machines, and the virtual world via smart perceptions.
