Title
Toward living tactile sensors
Abstract
The authors aim to realize a "Cell Tactile Sensor" which is integrated tactile receptors built by cultured cells. We regard the cells cultured on the PDMS membrane as the force receptors. We here report on interesting experimental results as follows: at first, we designed the positions of cells by self-organization which is due to mechanical stimulations; secondly, we visualized the tactile information of cell tactile sensors by observing of the Ca2+ induced from mechanical stimulations. Therefore, a new tactile sensor which has environment adaptability is developed.
