Artificial active whiskers for guiding underwater autonomous walking robots (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Rooney, T., Pearson, M., Welsby, J., Horsfield, I., Sewell, R., & Dogramadzi, S. (2011, September). Artificial active whiskers for guiding underwater autonomous walking robots. Paper presented at CLAWAR 2011, Paris, France

A low-cost, biologically inspired underwater walking robot (see Fig. 1) has been designed and built to covertly explore the seabed and to determine properties of submerged objects in obscure and inaccessible underwater locations. This paper focuses o... Read More about Artificial active whiskers for guiding underwater autonomous walking robots.

Biomimetic vibrissal sensing for robots (2011)
Journal Article
Charles Sullivan, J., Pearson, M., Mitchinson, B., Sullivan, J. C., Pipe, A. G., & Prescott, T. J. (2011). Biomimetic vibrissal sensing for robots. Philosophical Transactions B: Biological Sciences, 366(1581), 3085-3096. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2011.0164

Active vibrissal touch can be used to replace or to supplement sensory systems such as computer vision and, therefore, improve the sensory capacity of mobile robots. This paper describes how arrays of whisker-like touch sensors have been incorporated... Read More about Biomimetic vibrissal sensing for robots.
