• (cf. Equation 2). According to a recent study an artificial cupula made out of hydrogel can improve the performance of artificial sensory hairs (ANs) by about two orders of magnitude. Minimal thresholds were as low as 2.5 μm/s [33]. Thus, one should be able to increase further the sensitivity of ALLCs
