BIOTACT focuses on developing computational methods inspired by biological tactile systems, particularly the whiskers of certain animals. The project aims to create models that replicate how these animals use their whiskers for precise environmental exploration.
BIOTACT will develop novel biomimetic computational methods and technologies for active touch sensing.
The project is inspired by the functionality, morphology, and neural processing architectures of biological sensory systems that use tactile hairs known as whiskers or vibrissae.
It will focus on two animals that are tactile specialists--the Norwegian rat and the Etruscan shrew.
Both species make actively-controlled sweeping movements of their facial whiskers (whisking") as they explore their e…
