Flexible Self-Powered Respiration Sensor Inspired by Fish Lateral Line Systems.

ABSTRACT: Respiration is a critical physiological signal, and abnormal respiratory patterns are widely recognized as key indicators of various cardiopulmonary and neurological disorders, making continuous monitoring crucial. However, existing clinical systems are constrained by motion limitations, complexity, and cost, hindering daily use. In this work, we present a bio-inspired, low-cost, flexible, and self-powered respiration sensor (BLFS-RS) inspired by the fish lateral line system, operating via contact electrification and electrostatic induction. It features a semicylindrical structure made of silicone rubber, incorporating bionic air channels and a porous-villus composite microstructure. It detects respiratory forces by deforming with abdominal cavity fluctuations, enabling respiration monitor
