Current prosthetic systems largely depend on sensory substitution or signal remapping, which fall short of replicating natural somatosensory signals. In this work, we develop a plant\u2010enhanced bionic mechanoreceptor that mimics biological touch by converting mechanical stimuli into ionic signals. Incorporating bio\u2010derived pollen microgels into the hydrogel matrix introduces interfacial ion\u2010anchoring sites that strengthen cation\u2013matrix interactions, enhance ionic polarization, and significantly amplify the piezoionic output. This enhancement arises from pressure\u2010driven asymmetric ion transport within the ionically conductive hydrogel. As a result, the output signal increases by up to 12\u2010fold, providing a simple and accessible strategy to improve the sensitivity of piezoionic mechanoreceptors. Then, we demonstrate the integration of ten such mechanoreceptors into a robotic prosthetic arm and utilize a deep learning algorithm to interpret the complex signal patterns. The system achieves accurate recognition of object interaction, validating the potential for naturalistic tactile feedback. This platform offers a scalable, biomimetic solution for developing next\u2010generation sensory\u2010augmented prostheses and may inform future designs in neuroprosthetics and human\u2013machine interfaces.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/advs.202521235","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,19]],"date-time":"2026-06-19T08:44:54Z","timestamp":1781858694000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Pollen\u2010Enhanced Bionic Mechanoreceptor Induced by Asymmetric Ionic Convection in Hydrogel for Sensory\u2010Augmented Prostheses"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Zi Hao","family":"Guo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Nanyang Technological University  Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingyu","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Materials Science and Engineering Nanyang Technological University  Singapore Singapore"},{"name":"Centre For Cross Economy Nanyang Technological University  Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanzhang","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Materials Science and Engineering Nanyang Technological University  Singapore Singapore"},{"name":"Centre For Cross Economy Nanyang Technological University  Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chenchen","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Materials Science and Engineering Nanyang Technological University  Singapore Singapore"},{"name":"Centre For Cross Economy Nanyang Technological University  Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yangshi","family":"Shao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems Chinese Academy of Sciences  Beijing P.
