Advanced Bioinspired Organic Sensors for Future-Oriented Intelligent Applications

Abstract

Bioinspired organic sensors with excellent flexibility, biocompatibility, sensing performance, and self-adaptability have attracted considerable attention due to their fundamental role in next-generation intelligent sensory systems with simultaneous sensing and processing functions, such as advanced robots, disease diagnosis, Internet of Things, human–robot interaction systems, and beyond. The design of advanced bioinspired organic sensors requires a deep understanding of the interplay between the unique material property, sensing mechanism as well as intelligent functionality. Here, the recent progress of bioinspired organic sensors for artificial perceptron covering visual, tactile, and other bionic sensors from the view of materials, sensing mechanisms, and functionality, is summarized. Furthermore, the intelligent applications of bioinspired organic sensors, including associative learning, information security, electronic skin, and integrated artificial sensory systems, are presented. Finally, the potential challenges and prospects of bioinspired organic sensors are discussed, providing a promising avenue toward advanced bioinspired organic sensors for future-oriented intelligent applications.
