AB  - Purpose– This paper aims to provide an insight into recent biomimetic sensor developments.Design/methodology/approach– Following a brief introduction, this paper considers a number of specific sensor R&D activities which involve the use of differing biomimetic concepts, including the fabrication of artificial sensing organs, emulating human senses, novel uses of biological structures and systems exploiting biologically‐inspired behaviour.Findings– This paper shows that a range of different biomimetic design concepts are being applied to sensors that respond to a range of physical, gaseous and chemical variables. Robust, multi‐sensor systems are being developed which emulate biologically‐inspired behaviour.Originality/value– This paper provides an up to date technical review of a range of differing biomimetic sensor designs and concepts.
