All of the above in a context in which the artistic side is furthered by technology. (via Cosmos)

  robots.net - Robot news and Robotics Info: Two Northwestern University Engineers have developed an array of robotic whiskers that sense in two dimensions, mimicking the capabilities of mammalian whiskers. The bending moment, or torque, at the whisker base is then used to calculate the three-dimensional features of solid objects. (via Cosmos)

  Medgadget.com -- Internet Journal of Emerging Medical Technologies: "We show that the bending moment, or torque, at the whisker base can be used to generate three-dimensional spatial representations of the environment," said Hartmann. "We used this principle to make arrays of robotic whiskers that in many respects closely replicate rat whiskers." The technology, she said, could be used to extract the three-dimensional features of almost any solid object. (via Cosmos)

(Figure Credit: JH Solomon, Northwestern University) Two Northwestern University engineers have been studying the whisker system of rats to better understand how mechanical information from the whiskers gets transmitted to the brain and to develop artificial whisker arrays for engineering applications.
