This work contributes to the development of active haptic exploration strategies of surfaces using robotic hands in environments with an unknown structure. The architecture of the proposed approach consists two main Bayesian models, implementing the touch attention mechanisms of the system. The model πper perceives and discriminates different categories of materials (haptic stimulus) integrating compliance...
This work presents a representation of 3D object shape using a probabilistic volumetric map derived from in-hand exploration. The exploratory procedure is based on contour following through the fingertip movements on the object surface. We first consider the simple case of having single hand exploration of a static object. The cumulative pose data provides a 3D point cloud that is quantized to the...
In this paper we report our research on the development of an open web-based architecture for controlling the behavior of systems composed of static sensors, mobile sensors and unmanned vehicles. We document the first implementation of the architecture and describe its application to our vehicles and sensors. We discuss the validation of this implementation in real-world deployments where one or more...
