Article Abstract
Flexible piezoelectric acoustic sensors have been developed to generate multiple sound signals with high sensitivity, shifting the paradigm of future voice technologies. Speech recognition based on advanced acoustic sensors and optimized machine learning software will play an innovative interface for artificial intelligence (AI) services. Collaboration and novel approaches between both smart sensors and speech algorithms should be attempted to realize a hyperconnected society, which can offer personalized services such as biometric authentication, AI secretaries, and home appliances. Here, representative developments in speech recognition are reviewed in terms of flexible piezoelectric materials, self-powered sensors, machine learning algorithms, and speaker recognition.

A novel structure of a piezoelectric stick-slip actuator is proposed, which is based on the moving posture of a monkey. The biomimetic monkey type of piezoelectric stick-slip actuator (BMPSSA) is designed to simulate the limbs and tail of a moving monkey. By using the pseudo-rigid body method, the deformation model of the compliant mechanism is established.

The crystallization of lead zirconate titanate thin films on thick, rigid glass is previously demonstrated using flash lamp annealing to selectively anneal the films, without damaging the substrates. In this work, a 2-step process suitable for Schott AF 32 eco glass and Corning Willow glass is developed, both 100 μm thick, the latter of which is compatible with roll-to-roll processes.

The direct deposition of piezoelectric ceramic thin films onto metal foils has become a significant challenge due to the increasing demand for embedded decoupling capacitors, nanogenerators, and flexible piezo-sensors. However, traditional thermal sintering (TS) methods present several issues for metal foils, including alterations in mechanical properties, the formation of wrinkles, and the need for precise control over the sintering atmosphere to prevent oxidation. In this study, we successfully crystallized BaTiO on a Ni foil under atmospheric conditions, mitigating thermal damage to the foil through a hybrid-solution-incorporated photoassisted chemical solution deposition (HS-PCSD) method.

As wearable electronics advance, there is a growing need for flexible sensors with high sensitivity to detect even the slightest mechanical stimuli for real-time monitoring across various applications. This study presents a poly-(vinylidene fluoride--trifluoroethylene) (PVDF-TrFE)-based flexible piezoelectric sensor, developed by electrospinning a composite of PVDF-TrFE and barium titanate (BaTiO). The PVDF-TrFE with 3 wt % BaTiO, referred to as PVDF-TrFE (3 wt % BTO), exhibits higher crystallinity, increased β-phase content, and enhanced piezoelectric response, achieving a pressure sensitivity of 0.
