Outline of Final Research Achievements

We investigated behaviors based on haptic perception in humans, pill bugs and starfish. In starfish, tube feet movements appeared to affect flexible and efficient righting. In pill bugs, diversity was observed in behaviors where antennae play important roles such as turn alternation behavior. In humans, the subjects created various movements to percept roughness of objects.
