论文摘要
真菌皮肤是由丝状真菌制成的柔软柔软的柔软薄片。皮肤可用于自适应建筑的未来生活建筑,并用作感知的生活皮肤,用于柔软的自我生长/自适应机器人。在实验实验室研究中,我们证明了真菌皮肤能够识别机械和光学刺激。皮肤对体重的负载,减轻体重和关闭照明的反应有所不同。这些是第一个实验证据,即真菌材料不仅可以用作建筑和机器人技术中的机械“骨骼”,而且还可以用作能够识别外部刺激和感觉融合的智能皮肤。
A fungal skin is a thin flexible sheet of a living homogeneous mycelium made by a filamentous fungus. The skin could be used in future living architectures of adaptive buildings and as a sensing living skin for soft self-growing/adaptive robots. In experimental laboratory studies we demonstrate that the fungal skin is capable for recognising mechanical and optical stimulation. The skin reacts differently to loading of a weight, removal of the weight, and switching illumination on and off. These are the first experimental evidences that fungal materials can be used not only as mechanical `skeletons' in architecture and robotics but also as intelligent skins capable for recognition of external stimuli and sensorial fusion.
