Whisker Sensors for Unstructured Environments
NSH 3305Abstract: As robot applications expand from controllable factory settings to unknown environments, the robots will need a larger breadth of sensors to perceive these complex environments. In this thesis, I focus on developing whisker sensors for robot perception. The inspiration for whisker sensors comes from the biological world, where whiskers serve as tactile and flow [...]
