Whiskerbot (2003-2006) (http://www.brl.ac.uk/research/researchthemes/biomimeticandneuro-robotics/whiskerbot2003-2006.aspx)
The Whiskerbot platform (built as part of EPSRC grant no. GR/S19639/01) had a small array of glass-fibre moulded whiskers instrumented at their base using micro-strain gauges to measure 2-dimensional deflections of the shaft. This analogue information was converted into a series of empirically based spike train models of the rat vibrissal primary afferent (Mitchinson et al., 2004) and passed to an embedded real-time spike based model of the rodent trigeminal complex and superior colliculus (Pearson et al., 2007).
