Active Tactile Exploration for Grasping
This paper addresses the problem of robotic grasp optimization. Due to uncertainty both on the robot kinematics, motor control and object perception, it is very hard to analytically compute good grasps and execute them successfully. Our approach is based on searching for the best grasp configurations by iteratively optimizing a suitable grasp criterion. This approach may be compared to human le...
متن کاملIntrinsically Motivated Exploration for Developmental and Active Sensorimotor Learning
Intrinsic motivation is a central mechanism that guides spontaneous exploration and learning in humans. It fosters incremental and progressive sensorimotor and cognitive development by pushing exploration of activities of intermediate complexity given the current state of capabilities. This chapter presents and studies two computational intrinsic motivation systems that share similarities with ...
متن کاملActive tactile exploration for adaptive locomotion in the stick insect.
Insects carry a pair of actively movable feelers that supply the animal with a range of multimodal information. The antennae of the stick insect Carausius morosus are straight and of nearly the same length as the legs, making them ideal probes for near-range exploration. Indeed, stick insects, like many other insects, use antennal contact information for the adaptive control of locomotion, for ...
متن کاملWhisker encoding of mechanical events during active tactile exploration
Rats use their whiskers to extract a wealth of information about their immediate environment, such as the shape, position or texture of an object. The information is conveyed to mechanoreceptors located within the whisker follicle in the form of a sequence of whisker deflections induced by the whisker/object contact interaction. How the whiskers filter and shape the mechanical information and e...
متن کاملPrediction of primary somatosensory neuron activity during active tactile exploration
Primary sensory neurons form the interface between world and brain. Their function is well-understood during passive stimulation but, under natural behaving conditions, sense organs are under active, motor control. In an attempt to predict primary neuron firing under natural conditions of sensorimotor integration, we recorded from primary mechanosensory neurons of awake, head-fixed mice as they...
