“The objective of this work is the construction of an active artificial whisker system which closely corresponds to the external parts of the whisker system in rodents. The development of the artificial whiskers will be the basis for subsequent robot experiments. We were developing a tactile sensor which is responsive to whisker deflection and vibration. The tactile sensor system can measure angular direction, frequency, and deflection amplitude of the artificial whisker, which corresponds to the capabilities of the mechano-receptive sensory systems in rodents.”
