Researchers over the years have been trying to study the human body and develop functionalities in accordance with it. In line with this thought, researchers have emulated a sensory(afferent) nerve. This artificial mechanoreceptor was used to control an insect's disabled leg and distinguish braille characters. This system has potential for application in domains like neurorobotics & neuroprosthetics.
