A Star‐Nose‐Inspired Bionic Soft Robot for Nonvisual Spatial Detection and Reconstruction by Qiwei Shan, Yunqi Cao, Haozhen Chi, Shuyu Fan, Ziying Zhu, Dibo Hou

“…This article introduces a bionic soft robot inspired by the star‐nosed mole, which combines a pneumatic soft platform with a polydimethylsiloxane–polyethylene terephthalate cylindrical tactile sensor array based on bilayer single‐electrode triboelectric nanogenerators, mimicking the muscle tissue of the mole's nose and the cylindrical appendages surrounded by Eimer's organs. The cylindrical sensor array enables multiangle spatial detection without an external power supply and remains unaffected by external materials. …”
