Abstract: Keep in touch Many mammals use whiskers to sense and navigate in their environment. And whiskers may turn out to be a must-have accessory for robots that need to do the same. An experiment using arrays of robotic whiskers has succeeded in converting bending moments measured at a whisker's base into a precise three-dimensional representation of the environment.
