a Image illustrating how the artificial mechanoreceptor triggers an LED switch; as the receptor stretches and its resistance decreases, the LED turns on (scale bar: 10 mm). b Cyclic stability test of artificial mechanoreceptor under 50% strain for 100 cycles. The insets highlight cycles 15 to 25 and the final 10 cycles. c Responsive curve of the artificial mechanoreceptor to different stimuli; finger pressure, twist, bend, and tensile strain. d Resistance changes under cyclic strains at different strain ranges. e Resistance changes in response to different pressure levels. f Resistance changes at varying bending angles.
