Design and Optimization of Mechano transduction Sensors for effective analysis of proteins with Robotic interference
Abstract
Méchano transduction sensors convert mechanical inputs into electrical signals, allowing robots to detect and interact with their environments in various bio-imaging applications. Current bio-sensor systems have some drawbacks that prevent them from being widely used in robotic applications. These include low sensitivity, short durability, and expensive manufacturing costs regarding picture prediction and categorization. To overcome these obstacles and improve robotic mechanotransduction sensors for efficient protein analysis, this work suggests Unique Sensor Fabrication Techniques (USFT). These methods enhance sensor performance in protein analysis while keeping costs low and scalability high via integrating complex micro- and nano-scale materials and architectures. In comparison to traditional sensor designs, comprehensive evaluations based on predefined parametric criteria show significant improvements in areas such as sensitivity, response time, and predictability in protein biomolecules. In addition, assessments of scalability and manufacturability point to the possibility of widespread use in robotic systems for protein categorization and prediction. In bioimaging applications, this study helps advance sensor technology for reliable and efficient robot-environment interaction.
