This paper proposed a novel concept for a new tactile sensor that is inspired by the seismonastic movement of plants. The movement of Mimosa Pudica leaf is due to the change of pressure between the upper and lower motor organ of main pulvinus. From an engineering point of view, the turgidity changes...
