a Image of artificial afferent nerve system (scale bar: 5 mm). b Mechanical characterization of the substrate used in the artificial system. Comparison of experiment results and (c) COMSOL simulation results. d Electromechanical characterization of conductive composite used for interconnections between the printed artificial mechanoreceptor and surface mount electrical components. e Cyclic stability test of conductive composite under 50% strain for 100 cycles. The inset shows the first 10 cycles.
