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...

Bio-inspired smart electronic-skin based on inorganic perovskite nanoplates for application in photomemories and mechanoreceptors.

Nanoscale Dec 17, 2020
The development of artificial skin, such as electronic skin, is critical to emerging artificial intelligence systems. Electronic skins reported to date are mechanically flexible, and can detect various stimuli, but lack the ability to regulate themse...

Performance of neural networks for localizing moving objects with an artificial lateral line.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics Sep 26, 2017
Fish are able to sense water flow velocities relative to their body with their mechanoreceptive lateral line organ. This organ consists of an array of flow detectors distributed along the fish body. Using the excitation of these individual detectors,...

Morphological Computation of Haptic Perception of a Controllable Stiffness Probe.

PloS one Jun 3, 2016
When people are asked to palpate a novel soft object to discern its physical properties such as texture, elasticity, and even non-homogeneity, they not only regulate probing behaviors, but also the co-contraction level of antagonistic muscles to cont...

Behavior, Electrophysiology, and Robotics Experiments to Study Lateral Line Sensing in Fishes.

Integrative and comparative biology Nov 1, 2018
The lateral line system is a sensory system unique to fishes and amphibians. It is composed of distributed mechanosensory hair cell organs on the head and body (neuromasts), which are sensitive to pressure gradients and water movements. Over the last...
