Joules for Bits: Energy-Information Trade-Off in Active Sensing Behaviors

Description:

Movement and sensing fundamentally works in a synergistic manner. Animal's sensory organs --- be they independently movable like eyes or requiring whole body movement as in the case of electroreceptors --- are actively manipulated throughout stimulus-driven active sensing behaviors. Though these sensing-related motions have been individually reported and analyzed across...

A Biorobotic Study of the Rat Whisker System

Description:

The rat whisker (vibrissal) system provides rats with an exquisitely acute tactile sense that has helped allow them to thrive all over the world. By actively rotating their whiskers back-and-forth ("whisking") against objects, rats can extract a rich variety of information including position, size, shape, orientation and texture. Today, however,...
