Abstract
In order to advance engineering applications of robotics such as wearable health-monitoring devices, humanoid robots, etc., it is essential to investigate the tactile sensations of artificial haptic sensors mimicking bioinspired human cutaneous mechanoreceptors such as free nerve endings, Merkel’s cells, Krause end bulbs, Meissner corpuscles, Ruffini endings, and Pacinian corpuscles. The generated receptor’s potential response to extraneous stimuli, categorized as slow adaption (SA) or fast adaption (FA), is particularly significant as a typical property. The present study addressed the estimation of SA and FA by utilizing morphologically fabricated mechanoreceptors made of our proposed magnetically responsive intelligent fluid, hybrid fluid (HF), and by applying our proposed electrolytic polymerization. Electric circuit models of the mechanoreceptors were generated using experimental data on capacitance and inductance on the basis of the electric characteristics of impedance. The present results regarding equivalent firing rates based on FA and SA are consistent with the FA and SA findings of vital mechanoreceptors by biomedical analysis. The present investigative process is useful to clarify the time of response to a force on the fabricated artificial mechanoreceptor.
