There are 5 touch sensors on the Chimpanzee, one in each ear, one under his chin, one on the
back and one on the top of his head (see Chimpanzee Overview on p.8).
Ears
The Chimpanzee has a touch sensor located in each ear. These sensors react to a light fl ick.
Chin
You can gently tickle or tap the area under the Chimpanzeeʼs chin and he will react in a friendly
way, but this can vary depending on his current mood state.
Head
There are two sensors located on the chimpanzeeʼs head; one is on the top and one is on the
back of his head. There are four different ways of eliciting a reaction from the Chimpanzee with
these sensors:
1. Tap (single touch) the top of the Chimpanzeeʼs head.
2. Pat (repeated rapid taps) the top of his head.
3. Tap (single touch) the back of the Chimpanzeeʼs head.
4. Stroke (top to back - rapidly) his head from top to back.
