GU An, FANG Zhi-jun, YANG Zhong. Texture discrimination of mobile robot based on whisker sensor[J]. 2008, 27(10): 76-78+85. DOI: 10.13873/j.1000-97872008.10.031.
Rodents can gather rich information about objects by their whiskers.With the whisker sensor based on PSD
the mobile robot moves the whisker across the surface of the objects
which has the different textures.Time-frequency analysis is used to analyze the experiment data with the Matlab.The result shows that the whisker sensor can discriminate different textures effectively.That provides a new way to improve intelligence of the mobile robot.
