Shape Recovery from Passive Locally Dense Tactile Data
نویسنده
چکیده
As a robotic hand grasps an object of unknown shape, the object may slip in the robot’s fingers. If the robot can infer the local shape as the object slips, the robot may be able to readjust its hand and fingers so as to better grasp the object. This paper considers the problem of inferring local contact geometry from passive tactile information. The term “passive” means that the information results from motions of the object that are not necessarily under the control of the robot. To juxtapose, generally the term “active sensing” means that a robot actively explores an object, for instance with visual and/or tactile sensors that move around the object. This paper is not concerned with such active exploration. Instead, our goal is to determine how local shape geometry may be inferred from purely passive information. Shape recovery based on passive information will be useful both for dealing with unexpected events, as in the slippery grasping example above, and for more elaborate manipulation strategies, such as active exploration.

Dissociated active and passive tactile shape recognition: a case study of pure tactile apraxia.
Disorders of tactile object recognition (TOR) may result from primary motor or sensory deficits or higher cognitive impairment of tactile shape representations or semantic memory. Studies with healthy participants suggest the existence of exploratory motor procedures directly linked to the extraction of specific properties of objects. A pure deficit of these procedures without concomitant gnost...

The Intrinsic Shape of Point Clouds Stefan Ohrhallinger, PhD Concordia University, 2012 Given a point cloud, in the form of unorganized points, the problem of automatically connecting the dots to obtain an aesthetically pleasing and piecewise-linear closed interpolating boundary shape has been extensively researched for over three decades. In R, it is even more complicated to find an aesthetic ...
متن کاملLocal object shape from tactile sensing
Studies on contact problems such as shape recovery from tactile sensing involve complex geometrics and kinematics. In the rst part of the paper we introduce a convenient matrix expression of 3-D surfaces, which can be easily applied to manipulate contact constraints and kinematics equations using homogeneous transformation. In the second part of the paper we apply the notation introduced in the...

Abstract Background: The quality of life and standard of health care in a society is measured by its preterm infants' mortality rate. The popularity and credibility of alternative treatment such as touch therapy may be effective in preterm and low birth weight infants in order to increase their survival rate. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of touch intervention on the w...
