A pattern classification by dynamic tactile sense information processing

摘要

This paper describes pattern classification with an artificial tactile sense. In this method, an object's shape is determined by touching, groping and grasping it with an artificial hand with tactile sense.A simplified experiment classifying cylinders and square pillars was performed by an artificial hand with on-off switches instead of pressure sensitive elements. Highly reliable results were obtained. In addition, results of a surface groping experiment are given.
