In the previous work, sheath-flow probe electrospray ionization (sfPESI) equipped with a touch sensor was developed for conducting samples. In this work, a capacitiance-sensitive touch sensor that can be applicable to samples prepared in a nonconducting plastic multiwell plate was developed. The radiofrequency with 5 kHz and 4.5 Vpp was applied to the metal substrate on which the plastic plate was placed. The probe tip stopped at the position where it touched the surface of the liquid solution prepared in the plastic multiwell plate by detecting the displacement current flowing through the capacitance of the circuit. By coupling a nondisposable sfPESI probe with a table-top 3-axis robot, consecutive analysis of peptides, proteins, drugs, and real samples was performed. The carry-over by the consecutive analyses was suppressed to minimal by cleansing the probe tip using the solvent of water/methanol/acetonitrile (1/1/1).

Sensors for the perception of multimodal stimuli-ranging from the five senses humans possess and beyond-have reached an unprecedented level of sophistication and miniaturization, raising the prospect of making man-made large-scale complex systems that can rival nature a reality. Artificial intelligence (AI) at the edge aims to integrate such sensors with real-time cognitive abilities enabled by recent advances in AI. Such AI progress has only been achieved by using massive computing power which, however, would not be available in most distributed systems of interest.

Tactile perception plays a crucial role in the perception of products and consumer preferences. This perception process is structured in hierarchical layers comprising a sensory layer (soft and smooth) and an affective layer (comfort and luxury). In this study, we attempted to predict the evaluation score of sensory and affective tactile perceptions of materials using a biomimetic multimodal tactile sensor that mimics the active touch behavior of humans and measures physical parameters such as force, vibration, and temperature.

Cilia-Inspired Bionic Tactile E-Skin: Structure, Fabrication and Applications.

In Situ Devices Center, School of Integrated Circuits, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200241, China.

The rapid advancement of tactile electronic skin (E-skin) has highlighted the effectiveness of incorporating bionic, force-sensitive microstructures in order to enhance sensing performance. Among these, cilia-like microstructures with high aspect ratios, whose inspiration is mammalian hair and the lateral line system of fish, have attracted significant attention for their unique ability to enable E-skin to detect weak signals, even in extreme conditions. Herein, this review critically examines recent progress in the development of cilia-inspired bionic tactile E-skin, with a focus on columnar, conical and filiform microstructures, as well as their fabrication strategies, including template-based and template-free methods.

Human perception systems are highly refined, relying on an adaptive, plastic, and event-driven network of sensory neurons. Drawing inspiration from Nature, neuromorphic perception systems hold tremendous potential for efficient multisensory signal processing in the physical world; however, the development of an efficient artificial neuron with a widely calibratable spiking range and reduced footprint remains challenging. Here, we report an efficient organic electrochemical neuron (OECN) with reduced footprint (<37 mm) based on high-performance vertical OECT (vOECT) complementary circuitry enabled by an advanced n-type polymer for balanced p-/n-type vOECT performance.
