Whisker-based Sensing

Whisker-Based Sensing is a somatosensory mechanism that involves the active detection and discrimination of environmental stimuli through the controlled movement and mechanosensory feedback of facial vibrissae, distinguishing it from passive touch systems by its reliance on rhythmic, motion-driven exploration to extract spatial and textural information.
