arXiv:2605.22988v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Active sensing is traditionally defined as the expenditure of energy, typically in the form of movement, for obtaining information. Here, we propose that the combination of reliance on adaptive sensors, the linkage between movement and sensing, and task-level control inevitably gives rise to the emergence of active sensing movements. In this way, active sensing is not driven by sensory goals, such as minimizing uncertainty about the state, but rather is necessary for task-level control. This hypothesis, that active sensing subserves control, is
