Abstract:In this paper, we introduce the development of a bio-inspired system that mimics the angular acceleration sensor function provided by the vestibular system. The prototype is made of a Plexiglas piece that presents the pattern of a semicircular canal at scale 10, with a simplified geometry. A flexible piezoresistive cantilever integrated on polyimide substrate is used to model the electro-mechanical transduction of the cupula/hair cells system. The electro-mechanical response of the complete system is analyzed … Show more
