The emulation of tactile sensory nerves to achieve advanced sensory functions in robotics with artificial intelligence is of great interest. However, such devices remain bulky and lack reliable competence to functionalize further synaptic devices wit...
Skin-Inspired Multi-Modal Mechanoreceptors for Dynamic Haptic Exploration.
Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Feb 27, 2024
Active sensing is a fundamental aspect of human and animal interactions with the environment, providing essential information about the hardness, texture, and tackiness of objects. This ability stems from the presence of diverse mechanoreceptors in t...
Self-Adaptive Perception of Object's Deformability with Multiple Deformation Attributes Utilizing Biomimetic Mechanoreceptors.
Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Dec 13, 2023
The perception of object's deformability in unstructured interactions relies on both kinesthetic and cutaneous cues to adapt the uncertainties of an object. However, the existing tactile sensors cannot provide adequate cutaneous cues to self-adaptive...
Haptic perception using optoelectronic robotic flesh for embodied artificially intelligent agents.
Science robotics
Jun 8, 2022
Flesh encodes a variety of haptic information including deformation, temperature, vibration, and damage stimuli using a multisensory array of mechanoreceptors distributed on the surface of the human body. Currently, soft sensors are capable of detect...

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Jan 14, 2022
A self-powered artificial mechanoreceptor module is demonstrated with a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) as a pressure sensor with sustainable energy harvesting and a biristor as a neuron. By mimicking a biological mechanoreceptor, it simultaneousl...
A Bioinspired Stretchable Sensory-Neuromorphic System.
Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Sep 12, 2021
Conventional stretchable electronics that adopt a wavy design, a neutral mechanical plane, and conformal contact between abiotic and biotic interfaces have exhibited diverse skin-interfaced applications. Despite such remarkable progress, the evolutio...
Cutaneous Ionogel Mechanoreceptors for Soft Machines, Physiological Sensing, and Amputee Prostheses.
Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Aug 1, 2021
Touch sensing has a central role in robotic grasping and emerging human-machine interfaces for robot-assisted prosthetics. Although advancements in soft conductive polymers have promoted the creation of diverse pressure sensors, these sensors are dif...
Biomimetic Hairy Whiskers for Robotic Skin Tactility.
Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
May 8, 2021
Touch sensing is among the most important sensing capabilities of a human, and the same is true for smart robotics. Current research on tactile sensors is mainly concentrated on electronic skin (e-skin), but e-skin is prone to be easily dirtied, dama...
