Abstract:
The project E-TexWeld (Welding of e-textile for interactive clothing) is supported by the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation Commission, Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions - Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) join together the partners from the academic and private sector: Slovenia, Turkey, France, Greece, United Kingdom, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The interdisciplinary project work is the combination of welding, textiles, electronics and informatics technologies that aims to develop novel e-textile structures including transmission lines, sensors, actuators, microprocessors, personalized algorithms, on-body computing and user feedbacks in order to make a towards development of interactive clothing and footwear. The project is divided in: (i) designing of transmission lines of e-textile structures; (ii) integration of electronic elements (different sensors, actuators, microprocessors, data transmission and power supply systems) to textile structures and (iii) design and development of whole e-textile system for protective clothing applications including interactive protective garments and shoes. The paper presents the dissemination the results of intensive research work among the partners after one year and half of running the project. The project activities are running and aligning with the approved research project schedule. The strengths and weaknesses will be also discussed.
