Bio-Inspired Micro-Fluidic Angular-Rate Sensor for Vestibular Prostheses

Bio-Inspired Micro-Fluidic Angular-Rate Sensor for Vestibular Prostheses

This paper presents an alternative approach for angular-rate sensing based on the way that the natural vestibular semicircular canals operate, whereby the inertial mass of a fluid is used to deform a sensing structure upon rotation. The presented gyro has been fabricated in a commercially available...
