Title
Approach to the Dynamical Scanning of Object Contours Using Tactile Sensors
Abstract
The somatosenory system of many animals includes tactile sensory hairs - vibrissae. The combination of a vibrissa shaft and the follicle-sinus complex represents a powerful tactile sensor. Rodents use their vibrissae to perform different tasks: Beyond the ability of detecting object surface textures, they are capable of recognizing object shapes. Scanning an object, the vibrissae are swept along the object's shape dynamically. Adapting the natural example, the goal of the present work is to design an artificial tactile sensor. Therefore, mechanical simulations respecting large deflections and dynamical effects are performed to analyze the effect of different displacement velocities of the sensor support during scanning. The simulations are approved by experiments.
