The antenna of the Indian stick insect Carausius morosus is a highly specialized near-range
sensory probe used to actively sample tactile cues about location, distance or shape of …

Some insects or mammals use antennae or whiskers to detect by the sense of touch
obstacles or recognize objects in environments in which other senses like vision cannot …

Insects carry a pair of antennae on their head: multimodal sensory organs that serve a wide
range of sensory-guided behaviors. During locomotion, antennae are involved in near …

Haptic organs are common in nature and help animals to navigate environments where
vision is not possible. Insects often use slender, lightweight, and flexible links as sensing …

The design and application of sensing antenna devices that mimic insect antennae or
mammal whiskers is an active field of research. However, these devices still require new …

Purpose–Entomology is a useful tool when applied to engineering challenges that have
been solved in nature. Especially when these special abilities of olfactory sensation, vision …

This paper develops a mechanism to detect the instant at which an underwater haptic
flexible antenna detects an object. This sensor is implemented as an aid to navigation in …

Many sensor systems in robotics are bio-inspired by similar mechanisms in living creatures.
Birds frequently use their beaks to grasp and manipulate objects. This work proposes a very …

This paper proposed a novel concept for a new tactile sensor that is inspired by the
seismonastic movement of plants. The movement of Mimosa Pudica leaf is due to the …

Insects use their antennae (feelers) as near-range sensors for orientation, object localization
and communication. This paper presents further developments for an approach for an active …
