Abstract
En 中文
The lack of a sufficient and efficient way to simultaneously perceive general underwater mechanical stimuli, physical contact, and fluidic flow has been a bottleneck for many aquatic applications. To address this challenge, dynamics-oriented underwater mechanoreceptor interface (DOUMI), a bioinspired mechanoreception system that realizes simultaneous contact and flow perception using a single receptor, is introduced. This receptor, response-elevated-and-expanded hair-like tactile mechanoreceptor (REEM), is inspired by the mechanoreceptive mechanism of aquatic arthropods. REEM combines structural features from different mechanoreceptive sensilla, enabling it to capture a wide range of stimulus dynamics. Under different stimuli, REEM encodes stimuli dynamics as its oscillations with distinct spectral attributes. Those oscillations are efficiently transferred through mechanical processes and imaging, enabling vision-based extraction and further analysis. Therefore, by evaluating the oscillation dynamics with tailored wavelet-based indices, DOUMI can distinguish between contact- and flow-induced oscillations at each receptor unit with 90.5% accuracy. Furthermore, DOUMI provides comprehensive 2D mechanoreception with a scalable array of REEMs, delivering capabilities like stimuli spatiotemporal visualization, flow trend detection, and scenario classification with an accuracy of 99.5%. With its robustness and operational efficiency in underwater environments, DOUMI can be easily adapted to existing applications using common materials and hardware, establishing a new, streamlined paradigm for underwater general mechanoreception. Dynamics-oriented underwater mechanoreceptor interface (DOUMI) is a bioinspired underwater mechanoreception system that simultaneously detects both flow and contact stimuli. Drawing inspiration from arthropod mechanoreceptive sensilla, the dynamics-driven underwater dynamic oscillation mechanoreception paradigm and the widely-responsive response-elevated-and-expanded hair-like tactile mechanoreceptor (REEM) receptor are developed. Together, they enable DOUMI to capture and discriminate a broad spectrum of stimuli with high sensitivity and accuracy, providing comprehensive perception and adaptability in challenging underwater environments.image (c) 2024 WILEY-VCH GmbH
