Novel Tactile Descriptors and a Tactile Transfer Learning Technique for Active In-Hand Object Recognition via Texture Properties
Résumé
This paper proposes robust tactile descriptors and ,for the first time, a novel online tactile transfer learning strategy for discriminating objects through surface texture properties via a robotic hand and an artificial robotic skin. Using the proposed tactile descriptors the robotic hand can extract robust tactile information from generated vibro-tactile signals during in-hand object exploration. Tactile transfer learning algorithm enables the robotic system to autonomously select and then exploit the previously learned multiple texture models when classifying new objects with a few training samples or even one. The experimental outcomes demonstrate that employing the proposed methods and 10 prior texture models, the robotic hand could identify 12 objects through their surface textures properties with 97% and 100% recognition rate respectively with only one and ten training samples.
