Abstract

Bio-inspired robotic whisker touch sensors exist, although the shape of the whisker is often overlooked, despite it affecting whisker mechanics and resulting whisker movements. We demonstrate here in three Carnivora species that whisker shape affects tactile interactions. We recommend that whisker shape needs to be designed specifically for a task, and suggest that this is a good area for future research.
