description Highlights This review provides an overview of recent developments in soft ionic sensors inspired by biological sensory systems, focusing on their material properties and working principles. The features and working principles of natural and artificial sensing systems are investigated in terms of six categories: vision, tactile, auditory, gustatory, olfactory, and proximity sensing. The challenges encountered in developing soft ionic sensors and the future research directions to overcome these issues are discussed.
