Bionic engineering provides a promising way for promoting the development of science and
technology. Next‐generation diversified mechanosensors that can efficiently sense four …

Biological mechanosensation has been a source of inspiration for advancements in artificial
sensory systems. Animals rely on sensory feedback to guide and adapt their behaviors and …

Members of the clade Trichophora (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomomorpha) have
trichobothria on their abdominal sterna. There is no comparative study of the fine structure of …

Arthropod flow-sensing hair length ranges over more than an order of magnitude, from 0.1 to
5 mm. Previous studies repeatedly identified the longest hairs as the most sensitive, but …

We propose a neural network model for the jumping escape response behavior observed in
the cricket cercal sensory system. This sensory system processes low-intensity air currents …

Crickets use so-called clavate hairs to sense (gravitational) acceleration to obtain
information on their orientation. Inspired by this clavate hair system, a one-axis biomimetic …

Despite vigorous growth in biomimetic design, the performance of man-made devices
relative to their natural templates is still seldom quantified, a procedure which would …

We report improvements in the detection limit and responsivity of biomimetic hair-flow
sensors by electrostatic spring softening. Applying a dc-bias voltage to our capacitive flow …

Crickets exhibit oriented walking behavior in response to air-current stimuli. Because
crickets move in the opposite direction from the stimulus source, this behavior is considered …

Stimulus-specific adaptation (SSA) is considered to be the neural underpinning of
habituation to frequent stimuli and novelty detection. However, neither the cellular …
