Biomimetic 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 کاملPassive sensing and active sensing of a biomimetic whisker
Rodents demonstrate an outstanding capability of texture discrimination and shape recognition with their whiskers (vibrissae). Many neurophysiological and behavioural studies reported that active whisking plays a critical role on tactile perception. However, the role and limitation of passive sensing has not been studied in detail. In this paper, we compare passive sensing and active sensing fo...
متن کاملWhat Is It Like to Be a Rat? Sensory Augmentation Study
The present study examined the human ability to learn a new sensory modality, specifically “whisking”. An experimental apparatus containing artificial whiskers, force sensors, position sensors and computer interface was developed. Twelve participants took part in an experiment containing three tasks: pole localization in the radial dimension, roughness estimation, and object recognition. All ta...
متن کاملHarbor seal vibrissa morphology suppresses vortex-induced vibrations.
Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) often live in dark and turbid waters, where their mystacial vibrissae, or whiskers, play an important role in orientation. Besides detecting and discriminating objects by direct touch, harbor seals use their whiskers to analyze water movements, for example those generated by prey fish or by conspecifics. Even the weak water movements left behind by objects that hav...
متن کاملTowards biomimetic vibrissal tactile sensing for robot exploration, navigation, and object recognition in hazardous environments
Arrays of actuated, whisker-like tactile sensors could prove useful for the guidance and control of robots in hazardous environments, particularly where the effectiveness of conventional vision sensors is compromised. This paper summarises recent research on biomimetic vibrissal sensing arrays for mobile robots, focusing on the design of the SCRATCHbot whiskered robot platform, and on progress ...
