As key devices for underwater robot to perceive underwater environments, tactile sensors play an important role in seabed exploration. Inspired by the structure of marine mammal whiskers, we designed a bio-inspired whisker sensor (BWS) based on triboelectric nanogenerators to assist underwater robot...
