We report the development and application of an artificial hair cell (AHC) flow sensor inspired by biological systems. With optimized design and fabrication process, the AHC is characterized in terms of sensitivity, calibration, and robustness. Especially, an AHC can discern variations of water flow down to 0.1 mm/s and survive 55deg deflections. The sensor has been applied to flow field measurements,...
We report on the development of new elastomers and processes that utilize polymers such as PDMS, FSR (force sensitive resistor) polymer, MWCNT, and polyurethane to realize bioinspired sensors such as artificial haircells. In nature, haircell sensors are used by fish to sense flow, by spiders to sense vibration, and by some vertebrates for hearing and acoustics. An artificial haircell sensor is designed...
