Hair cells are ubiquitous in nature. These natural and efficient mechanoreceptors are
exploited as efficient transducers for flow sensing and chemical sensing in many living
systems, ranging from cells to aquatic animals. In aquatic environment hair cells are
probably the most effective mechanism of sensing and environment perception. Mimicking
these mechanoreceptors and their structure and behavior for developing MEMS artificial hair
cells (AHC) could be a powerful approach for producing efficient underwater sensors and …
