Whisking with robots: From rat vibrissae to biomimetic technology for active touch (2009)
Journal Article
This article summarizes some of the key features of the rat vibrissal system, including the actively controlled sweeping movements of the vibrissae known as whisking, and reviews the past and ongoing research aimed at replicating some of this functio...

Contact type dependency of texture classification in a whiskered mobile robot (2009)
Journal Article
Actuated artificial whiskers modeled on rat macrovibrissae can provide effective tactile sensor systems for autonomous robots. This article focuses on texture classification using artificial whiskers and addresses a limitation of previous studies, na...
