Parallel Signal Processing of a Wireless Pressure-Sensing Platform Combined with Machine-Learning-Based Cognition, Inspired by the Human Somatosensory System.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Inspired by the human somatosensory system, pressure applied to multiple pressure sensors is received in parallel and combined into a representative signal pattern, which is subsequently processed using machine learning. The pressure signals are comb...

Ultrasensitive Anti-Interference Voice Recognition by Bio-Inspired Skin-Attachable Self-Cleaning Acoustic Sensors.

ACS nano
Human voice recognition systems (VRSs) are a prerequisite for voice-controlled human-machine interfaces (HMIs). In order to avoid interference from unexpected background noises, skin-attachable VRSs are proposed to directly detect physiological mecha...

Substrate stiffness affects neural network activity in an extracellular matrix proteins dependent manner.

Colloids and surfaces. B, Biointerfaces
Neuronal growth, differentiation, extension, branching and neural network activity are strongly influenced by the mechanical property of extracellular matrix (ECM). However, the mechanism by which substrate stiffness regulates a neural network activi...

A miniaturized wall-climbing segment robot inspired by caterpillar locomotion.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Caterpillars are very successful soft-bodied climbers that navigate in complex environments. This paper develops a multi-segmented robot climbing on vertical surfaces using dry adhesive pads, inspired by caterpillar locomotion. The miniaturized robot...
