| description | Biological senses are critical for the survival of organisms. A
great deal of attention has focused on elucidating the underlying
physiological mechanisms of the senses, inspiring various sensing
techniques. Despite progress in this area, gaps remain between the
biological senses and conventional sensing techniques. In this Perspective,
we propose the concept of artificial sense technology, which mimics the
biological senses but differs in terms of objective sensing and intelligent
feedback capabilities. We first summarize recent progress in the use of
nanotechnologies to emulate the biological senses and then outline the
advantages of artificial sense technology, which extend the capabilities of its
biological counterparts. We envision artificial sense technology as a
powerful perceptual interface that will play key roles in sensation
substitution, digital healthcare, animal interactions, plant electronics,
smart robots, and other areas that enrich the connections of the physical
and virtual worlds. |
