The effect of whisker movement on radial distance estimation: a case study in comparative robotics

Whisker movement has been shown to be under active control in certain specialist animals such as rats and mice. Though this whisker movement is well characterised, the role and effect of this movement on subsequent sensing is poorly understood. One method for investigating this phenomena is to gener...
