Biomimetic tactile target acquisition, tracking and capture
Good performance in unstructured/uncertain environments is an ongoing problem in robotics; in biology, it is an everyday observation. Here, we model a particular biological system—hunting in the Etruscan shrew— as a case study in biomimetic robot design. These shrews strike rapidly and accurately after gathering very limited sensory information from their whiskers; we attempt to mimic this perf...
متن کاملBiomimetic Tactile Sensing
Tactile sensing is an essential component in many applications such as robotics, haptics, rehabilitation, electrotextiles, prosthetics and many more. In the light of greater focus on man-machine interaction, the importance of artificial tactile sensing as an important feedback tool is also growing. Starting with an overview of tactile sensing, in humans and robots, this chapter presents artific...
متن کاملBiomimetic Tactile Sensor Array
The performance of robotic and prosthetic hands in unstructured environments is severely limited by their having little or no tactile information compared to the rich tactile feedback of the human hand. We are developing a novel, robust tactile sensor array that mimics the mechanical properties and distributed touch receptors of the human fingertip. It consists of a rigid core surrounded by a w...
متن کاملBiomimetic Whisker Experiments for Tactile Perception
Rodents use their whiskers (vibrissae) for tactile perception. Our artificial whiskers follow the basic design of the follicle of rodent vibrissae. In experiments with the artificial whiskers, we have explored tactile perception based on active whisking, and found the deflection amplitude or velocity provides the localization information of a target obeject. Based on this localization approach,...
متن کاملMultisensory Tracking of Objects in Darkness: Capture of Positive Afterimages by the Tactile and Proprioceptive Senses.
This paper reports on three experiments investigating the contribution of different sensory modalities to the tracking of objects moved in total darkness. Participants sitting in the dark were exposed to a brief, bright flash which reliably induced a positive visual afterimage of the scene so illuminated. If the participants subsequently move their hand in the darkness, the visual afterimage of...
