Advances in experimental techniques and computational power allowing researchers to
gather anatomical and electrophysiological data at unprecedented levels of detail have …

Abstract Internet of Things (IoT), one of the key research topics in recent years, together with
concepts from Fog Computing, brings rapid advancements in Smart City, Monitoring …

We describe a novel, biomimetic tactile sensing system modeled on the facial whiskers
(vibrissae) of animals such as rats and mice. The “BIOTACT Sensor” consists of a conical …

This study provides a synthetic viewpoint that compares, contrasts, and draws
commonalities for biomimetic perception over a range of tactile sensors and tactile stimuli …

Integration of information across heterogeneous sources creates added scientific value.
Interoperability of data, tools and models is, however, difficult to accomplish across spatial …

The Ikaros project started in 2001 with the aim of develo** an open infrastructure for
system-level brain modeling. The system has developed into a general tool for cognitive …

The rodent vibrissal (whisker) system is one of the most widely investigated model sensory
systems in neuroscience owing to its discrete organisation from the sensory apparatus (the …

Texture perception is studied here in a physical model of the rat whisker system consisting of
a robot equipped with a biomimetic vibrissal sensor. Investigations of whisker motion in …

This chapter introduces the modular humanoid robot Myon, covering its mechatronical
design, embedded low-level software, distributed processing architecture, and the …

This thesis represents a part of my journey as a PhD student where I have explored many
different topics, directions, and ideas. For me, personally, the journey has not been as much …
