Interactive Object Recognition Using Proprioceptive Feedback
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a method for interactive recognition of household objects by a robot using proprioceptive feedback. In our experiments, the robot observed the changes in its proprioceptive stream while performing five exploratory behaviors (lift, shake, drop, crush, and push) on 50 common household objects (e.g., bottles, cans, balls, toys, etc.). Specifically, the robot used its own joint torques recorded during each interaction to recognize the object that it was manipulating. The results show that the robot can learn to recognize objects solely from the proprioceptive information obtained while interacting with them. Furthermore, by applying multiple behaviors on the same object, the robot was able to significantly improve its object recognition accuracy. Overall, the results show that proprioception should be considered as an important source of information for object recognition and object manipulation tasks.

متن کاملThe Boosting Effect of Exploratory Behaviors
Active object exploration is one of the hallmarks of human and animal intelligence. Research in psychology has shown that the use of multiple exploratory behaviors is crucial for learning about objects. Inspired by such research, recent work in robotics has demonstrated that by performing multiple exploratory behaviors a robot can dramatically improve its object recognition rate. But what is th...
متن کاملTwo Experiments on the Perception of Slip at the Fingertip
This paper describes the results of two experiments that investigate relative motion between a surface and the fingertip (slip) as part of a larger program of research on “fingertip haptics.” The primary intent of both experiments is to evaluate the importance of relative motion with respect to perceiving surface velocity. The perception of surface velocity is crucial to dexterous control and o...

The purpose of the current study was to determine the extent to which “sensory dominance” exists in right-handers with respect to the utilization of proprioceptive versus visual feedback. Thirteen right-handed adults performed two target matching tasks using instrumented manipulanda. In the proprioceptive matching task, the left or right elbow of blindfolded subjects was passively extended by a...
