While animals swim, crawl, walk, and fly with apparent ease, building robots capable of robust locomotion remains a significant challenge. In this review, we draw attention to mechanosensation-the sensing of mechanical forces generated within and outside the body-as a key sense that enables robust locomotion in animals. We discuss differences between mechanosensation in animals and current robots with respect to (1) the encoding properties and distribution of mechanosensors and (2) the integration and regulation of mechanosensory feedback. We argue that robotics would benefit greatly from a detailed understanding of these aspects in animals. To that end, we highlight promising experimental and engineering approaches to study mechanosensation, emphasizing the mutual benefits for biologists and engineers that emerge from moving forward together.
虽然动物们能够轻松地游泳、爬行、行走和飞行，但制造能够稳健移动的机器人仍然是一个重大挑战。在这篇综述中，我们将关注机械感觉——即对身体内外产生的机械力的感知——作为使动物能够稳健移动的关键感觉。我们讨论了动物的机械感觉与当前机器人之间的区别，涉及到（1）机械传感器的编码特性和分布，以及（2）机械感觉反馈的整合和调节。我们认为，机器人学如果能深入了解这些动物方面的知识，将会受益匪浅。为此，我们强调了研究机械感觉的有前途的实验和工程方法，突出了生物学和工程学共同前进所带来的互惠互利。
