Machine-learning assisted handwriting recognition is crucial for development of next-generation biometric technologies. However, most of the currently reported handwriting recognition systems are lacking in flexible sensing and machine learning capabilities, both of which are essential for implementation of intelligent systems. Herein, assisted by machine learning, we develop a new handwriting recognition system, which can be applied as both a recognizer for written texts and an encryptor for confidential information. This flexible and intelligent handwriting recognition system combines a printed circuit board with graphene oxide-based hydrogel sensors. It offers fast response and good sensitivity and allows high-precision recognition of handwritten content from a single letter to words and signatures. By analyzing 690 acquired handwritten signatures obtained from seven participants, we successfully demonstrate a fast recognition time (less than 1 s) and a high recognition rate (∼91.30%). Our developed handwriting recognition system has great potential in advanced human-machine interactions, wearable communication devices, soft robotics manipulators, and augmented virtual reality.
