The textile contains stretchable sensors which are applied by an electronic dyeing method. With specific precursor selection and texture regulation, the conductive textile shows good flexibility and adaptable strain–electric response. The electronic textile has high durability and can capture and monitor various human activities and distinguish similar motions, which have great potential in biomonitoring, soft co-robotics, and human–machine interaction, https://doi.org/10.1002/aelm.201700253
