• Curiosity is a crucial, but not yet well-understood component of intelligence and a better understanding of existing models may lead to a better understanding of curiosity as a whole. In this work, we present a physical robot implementation of the basic curiosity loop introduced by Gordon and Ahissar in 2012. In the same way that Gordon and Ahissar produced a rough simulation of a rat’s whiskers, this work presents a physical model using
  two servos to create the whisking actions.
