Cephalopods as a Natural Sensor-Display Feedback System Inspiring Adaptive Technologies

Nature is full of exemplary species that have evolved personalized sensors and actuating systems interface with adapt to the world around them. Among them, cephalopods are unique. They employ fast-sensing trigger structural changes impart color through biochemical optoelectronic controls. These occur using specialized optical organs receive respond signals (light, temperature, fragrances, sound, textures) in their environments. We describe features enable these functions, highlight engineered mimic discuss strategies consider for future cephalopod-inspired sensor technologies.
