With the development of flexible electronics, material science and micro-nano processing technology, flexible/wearable electronics technology has become an important field of electronic device research in recent years. Among them, high-performance flexible sensors that can accurately perceive external signals are one of the basic core components. Due to their good surface conformal characteristics and the characteristics of lightness, flexibility, and toughness, flexible sensors are widely used in human-computer interaction, intelligent robots, artificial Strategic emerging fields such as intelligence, wearable devices, medical monitoring, and sports health have broad application prospects.

Recently, Dr. Zhang Jun, a researcher at the Suzhou Institute of Nanotechnology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the founder of Suzhou Nengstar Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Hanwei Technology, and his research group published a paper entitled "Materials, Structures, and "Functions for Flexible and Stretchable Biomimetic Sensors" was an invited review article, which explained the research of nano-sensitive materials, micro-nano structures and new smart devices in the field of flexible sensors by our group and related teams from the perspective of bionics. This work demonstrates that biomimetic flexible sensor technology is an essential way to achieve efficient integration of "(robot) human-information-physical systems", and discusses the existing problems and development directions in this research field.

A review of biomimetic flexible sensors was published in Accounts of Chemical Research (2019, 52, 288-296, Inside Cover)

Organisms, especially the human body's five senses (touch, hearing, smell, vision, and taste), are important basic functions to realize their perception and interaction with external information. From the perspective of biological sensory functions, Zhang Shu's research team has constructed the design and construction of a variety of new flexible biomimetic devices, such as flexible biomimetic electronic skin sensors, flexible biomimetic fingerprint structure sensors, and flexible biomimetic electronic eardrums. Combined with other sensing devices such as gas sensors (smell) and wearable sweat sensors (taste) developed by the research group, these devices will endow systems such as bionic robots with more "smart" bio-organoid sensing capabilities.
