The present invention relates to a zinc oxide-based piezoelectric device, utilizable both as a sensor and as an actuator. More in particular, the present invention relates to a piezoelectric device () comprising at least two carbon fibre crossed yarns (), at the intersection of which a zinc oxide layer () in nanorod form is arranged, wherein an end () of each of said yarns () is connected to an operative unit ().

Zinc oxide-based piezoelectric device

A system () for the remote detection of substances, comprising a vehicle () that is mobile in space and remote-piloted using a control device () with a haptic interface suitable to return a force feedback to a user of the control device (), wherein the vehicle () is equipped with a position sensor () and a sensor () for detecting a physical quantity whose intensity depends on the distance of at least one substance present in a detection point located in a vicinity of the position of the vehicle ().
