Bioinspired by electrophysiological processes in human tactile somatosensory nervous system, here we propose a tactile scanner along with a neuromorphically-engineered system, in which a closed-loop tactile acquisition and rendering (re-creation) are preliminarily achieved. Based on the architecture of ...
Soil mechanical impedance discrimination by a soft tactile sensor for a bioinspired robotic root. Living Machines 2014, submitted.C. Lucarotti, M. Totaro, L. Viry, L. Beccai, and B. Mazzolai, "Soil mechanical impedance discrimination by a soft tactile sensor for a bioinspired robotic root,"...
Ocean is full of low-frequency, irregular, and widely distributed wave energy, which is suitable as the energy source for maritime Internet of Things (IoTs). Utilizing triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) to harvest ocean wave energy and power sensors is proven to be an effective scheme. However...

Another flat dry adhesive soft gripper was presented in [66], integrating a soft actuator, micro spine, and a bioinspired design based on a gecko’s toe and a cat’s foot. The soft gripper has an improved design that enhances the comprehensive grasping ability of the soft gripper on smooth...
In this research we propose a dexterous bioinspired soft active hand prosthesis based in the skeletal architecture of the human hand. The design includes the imitation of the musculoskeletal components and morphology of the human hand, allowing the prosthesis to emulate the biomechanical properties of ...
A magnetostrictive sensor was designed, constructed, and evaluated for use as flow or tactile sensor. Vibrissa-like beams (whiskers) were cut from sheets of the magnetostrictive iron-gallium alloy, Galfenol. These beams were cantilevered, with the fixed end of the whisker attached to a permanent ...
