Artificial nociceptors demonstrate significant potential in emerging fields such as intelligent prosthetics, humanoid robotics, and electronic skin, capable of transducing external noxious stimuli to the central nervous system. Unlike common sensory neurons, nociceptors exhibit unique characteristics, including “no adaptation,” “relaxation,” “threshold firing,” and “sensitization of allodynia/hyperalgesia.” This study presents a forming-free volatile transparent ITO/AlN/ITO memristor that emulates biological nociceptor behaviors. Leveraging this artificial nociceptor, an artificial mechano-nociceptive system is developed by integrating the ITO/AlN/ITO memristor into a piezoelectric force sensor system for pain sensing and noxious stimuli warning. This research contributes to the advancement of human cognitive capability emulation and artificial intelligence systems, particularly in the domain of pain perception and response.

基于透明 ITO/AlN/ITO 忆阻器伤害感受器神经元的人工机械伤害感受系统


人工伤害感受器在智能假肢、类人机器人和电子皮肤等新兴领域表现出巨大潜力，能够将外部有害刺激传导到中枢神经系统。与常见的感觉神经元不同，伤害感受器表现出独特的特征，包括“不适应”、“松弛”、“阈值放电”和“痛觉过敏/痛觉过敏”。本研究提出了一种模拟生物伤害感受器行为的无形成挥发性透明 ITO/AlN/ITO 忆阻器。利用这种人工伤害感受器，通过将 ITO/AlN/ITO 忆阻器集成到压电力传感器系统中，用于疼痛感应和伤害刺激警告，开发了一种人工机械伤害感受系统。这项研究有助于人类认知能力模拟和人工智能系统的进步，特别是在疼痛感知和反应领域。
