Predictive Prey Pursuit in a Whiskered Robot

Biomimetic tactile target acquisition, tracking and capture

“…Below, we report on a robotic model of this prey capture behaviour using a mobile whiskered robot, Shrewbot [15] (Figure 1, right), extending a previous report [22]. Hunting shrews can reach speeds of at least 400mm/s and accelerations of at least 10000mm/s 2 [23].…”
