Popis: Abstract A self‐powered mechanoreceptor array is demonstrated using four mechanoreceptor cells for recognition of dynamic touch gestures. Each cell consists of a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) for touch sensing and a bi‐stable resistor (biristor) for spike encoding. It produces informative spike signals by sensing a force of an external touch and encoding the force into the number of spikes. An array of the mechanoreceptor cells is utilized to monitor various touch gestures and it successfully generated spike signals corresponding to all the gestures. To validate the practicality of the mechanoreceptor array, a spiking neural network (SNN), highly attractive for power consumption compared to the conventional von Neumann architecture, is used for the identification of touch gestures. The measured spiking signals are reflected as inputs for the SNN simulations. Consequently, touch gestures are classified with a high accuracy rate of 92.5%. The proposed mechanoreceptor array emerges as a promising candidate for a building block of tactile in‐sensor computing in the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), due to the low cost and high manufacturability of the TENG. This eliminates the need for a power supply, coupled with the intrinsic high throughput of the Si‐based biristor employing complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technology.
