A new robotic tactile sensor with bio-mimetic structural colour inspired by Morpho butterflies.

Since tactile perception and robotic manipulation play important roles in human survival, we propose a new method for developing robotic tactile sensors based on the structural colours of Morpho menelaus (a kind of Morpho butterfly). The first task is to fabricate a flexible bioinspired grating with a similar microstructure to the wings of Morpho menelaus using the transfer technique, onto the sur...
