MECHANORECEPTORS OF THE APHID LABIUM [PDF]
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 1978 Morphological evidence is provided for a mechanoreceptive function of the labial tip receptors, as well as of two newly described receptors in the stylet groove. Electrophysiological tip recording techniques could not demonstrate a neural response due to chemical stimulation of the tip sensilla, the larger labial hairs or the stylet tips.

Skin‐Like Tri‐Modal Sensors Based on Soft Piezoelectric and Ionic Composites
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Inspired by the multimodal perception of human skin, a soft, skin‐like tri‐modal sensor is presented. The device incorporates an ionically conductive, piezoelectric, elastic composite as its active layer, enabling independent detection of temperature, static strain, and dynamic strain within a single two‐terminal architecture.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Dense tactile streams from across the humanoid body converge on collide in a central wiring and data bottleneck. By relocating computation closer to and then into the skin itself, near‐ and in‐sensor architectures, together with neuromorphic computing, chart a path toward perception‐native electronic skin, in which the conversion of stimulus into ...
