Abstract

We report the development of an artificial haircell (AHC) fabricated using polymer surface micromachining and efficient 3D assembly. The AHC is modeled after biological hair cells, a common and versatile mechanoreceptor in biology. The design and fabrication process are discussed in the paper. Response to static deflection and airflow is also discussed.
