- This paper develops a general approach for implementing active touch on robots, where tactile sensors are controlled to best perceive objects and surface in an analogous way to how humans move our fingers to feel objects and rodents use their whiskers to feel their surroundings. The algorithms developed in this paper are used today in the laboratory built by the author (14 members) and underpins the approach in his Leverhulme Research Leadership Award (2017-22, £1M) on 'A biomimetic forebrain for robot touch' (RL-2016-039), and commercial-academic collaboration that are ongoing (DeepMind, CASE award; Ultraleap CASE award).
