AB - Nocturnal mammals such as rats heavily depend onwhisker based tactile perception to find their way through burrows and to identify objects. There is diversity in the whiskers in terms of the physical structure and nervous innervation. The robotics community has developed many different whisker sensors inspired by this biological basis. They take diverse mechanical, electronic, andcomputational approaches to use whiskers to identify the geometry, mechanical properties, and texture of objects. Some work address specific object features and some others address multiple features. Therefore, it is vital to have a comprehensive discussion of the literature and to understand the merits of both bio-inspired and pureengineered approaches to whisker based tactile perception. In this paper we report and discuss the progress in following areas: The body of mammalian whisker follicle, unimodal whiskered sensors, multimodal whiskered sensors with variable stiffness that can capture tactile sensory stimuli of different frequencies, obstacles detection, shape detection, texture classification and robot navigation using whiskers.
