A skin - inspired organic
digital mechanoreceptor.
Not exact matches
Inspired by natural
mechanoreceptors, researchers led by Zhenan Bao, a chemical engineer at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, set out to make sensors that churn out
digital signals directly.
For starters, natural
mechanoreceptors put out what amounts to a
digital signal.
On page 314 of this issue, Tee et al. (3) report a
Digital Tactile System («DiTact») based on a low - power flexible organic transistor circuit that transduces pressure stimuli into oscillating signals like those generated by skin
mechanoreceptors.
