Biomimetic Crack Sensors Using Electrohydrodynamic Technology
Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2021This paper proposes a new mechanism for detecting microscopic damage of structures based on imitating the sensory organs of spiders. Therefore, it is essential to manufacture sensors that can react sensitively to the micro deformations of structures. Numerous cracks were intentionally generated to improve the sensitivity of the proposed sensor, and an

The performance of prosthetic hands and robotic manipulators is severely limited by their having little or no tactile information compared to the human hand. Technologies such as MEMS, microfluidics, and nanoparticles have been used to produce arrays of force sensors, but these are generally not robust enough to mount on curved, deformable finger pads ...

IEEE Sensors Journal, 2012
In this paper, we review olfactory biosensors based on biological components taken from biological olfactory systems. The strategies adopted in this paper include measuring an animal's behavioral response to chemical stimuli, using tissue- or cell-based biosensors, extracting receptor elements and coupling them to various transduction platforms, and ...

Biomimetic flow sensors are biologically inspired devices that measure the speed and direction of fluids. This survey starts by describing the role and functioning of airflow-sensing hairs in arthropods and in fishes, carries on with the biomimetic MEMS implementations, both for air and water flow sensing, and ends up with some perspectives for bio ...

To use Nature as a model for a new sensor technique - that is a concept that has become very attractive in recent years. This biomimetic approach deals with sensors and sensor systems based on mechanisms found in biological systems. One branch consists of the concept of biosensors, a biosensor being a combination of a biologically active material with ...

Computational Modeling for Biomimetic Sensors
2019Computational modeling has become an important tool for scientists to both predict the properties of materials and systems and to gain a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms. This chapter is a brief yet holistic introduction to computational modeling, focusing on density functional theoretical (DFT) methods.

Micromachined biomimetic artificial haircell sensors
Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2007The biological haircell is a modular building block of a rich variety of biological sensors. Using micro- and nanofabrication technology, an engineering equivalent artificial haircell sensor can be developed, imitating the structure and transfer function of the biological haircell. The artificial haircells can be made of hybrid semiconductor, metal and
