Roboticist Steve Yohanan has developed the Haptic Creature that looks more like a bunny lost several fundamental facial features to me, and that robot relies on touch feedback as it’s only means of communicating. Boasting pressure sensors all around, that furry, eyeless rabbit robot will be able to sense how it is touched or stroked, responding appropriately by making

breathing-like motions, ear wiggles or purring vibrations. I wonder how will it react to the pain of a ability drill - will it’s ears just start twirling crazily until they pop off?
