Abstract: Examples include an artificial conductive cilia based sensor having, on a substrate, a conductive pad and a neighbor conductive pad spaced in a direction. A first conductive cilium has a distal end, and a base end conductively secured to the conductive pad, and is particularly structured with bendability and elasticity. A second conductive cilium has a base end conductively secured to the neighbor conductive pad. A terminal is electrically connected to the conductive pad. Another terminal is electrically connected to the neighbor conductive pad. The first conducive cilium, in accordance with the bendability, is bent by a bending force directed in the spacing direction, to a bent state configured to establish a conductive path to the second conductive cilium and via the elasticity, to self-return to a relaxed state configured to terminate the conductive path.
