Hypersensitive pressure sensors inspired by scorpion mechanosensory mechanisms for near-body flow detection in intelligent robots.
Article in Science advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Sensitivity enhancement for pressure sensors over a broad linear range can improve sensing performance for a wide range of applications such as health monitoring and artificial intelligence. Here, inspired by the high-precision mechanosensory mechanism of the scorpion, a bioinspired piezoresistive pressure sensor (BPPS) is reported for the synergistic enhancement of sensitivity and linearity at 65.56 millivolts per volt per kilopascal and 0.99934, respectively, in a pressure range from 0 to 500 kilopascals. The BPPS can distinguish laminar, transitional, and turbulent flows as well as identify approaching objects of different shapes with an accuracy exceeding 85.42% by integrating a wavelet transform algorithm and the ResNet18 deep learning network. As a proof of concept, BPPS has been engineered in a hexapod robot to enable near-body flow field sensing for active collision avoidance. This work underscores the potential to leverage key design concepts inspired by living insects for improved sensing performance and offers structural insights for other high-precision sensors.
