Robotic Whiskers Sense Shape and Texture
An AC writes,"NewScientistTech has a story about robotic whiskers capable of sensing shape and texture in a similar way to those belonging to rats and seals. The 'bending moment,' or torque, exerted at the base of each whisker is used to extract feature information. The artificial whiskers could be used on interplanetary rovers, or allow underwater vehicles to track moving objects by their wake. Check out the slightly creepy video of them stroking a sculpted face."
God may have given cats, rats, and seals environment-sensing whiskers, but it will be a scientist that gives them to humans.
Why don't you try posting some constructive comments, and putting the link to that page in your signature (where it may actually be regarded as a useful link and not spam). Anyone with any morals would now not use that site just because of your flagrant advertising, and anyone who actually needs that hopefully knows how to use Google to find a storage site, or even just setup their own hosting.
which is totally what she said
