Excitation of sensors triggered by carpal vibrissae has an influence on the kinematics of legs during locomotion of rats. Via motion studies, anatomic and mechanical characterization of vibrissae – especially in the contact period with the substrate – we try to gain a better understanding of the adaptability of those special sensory organs. This knowledge might lead to new approaches for passive sensor systems in robot locomotion or other tactile tasks.
