The robotic shape control of deformable linear objects has garnered increasing interest within the robotics community. Despite recent progress, the majority of shape control approaches can be classified into two main groups: open-loop control, which relies on physically realistic models to represent
In autonomous robot tasks involving physical contacts with the environment, it is still challenging to perform dexterous manipulation. Force control approaches and force sensors are usually used to control the actions of a robot. However, the spatial resolution of the force sensors is limited when e
Tactile object shape identification is important for robotic hands to perform dexterous manipulation. Most of the proposed approaches concentrate on specific object recognition. This limits their application into more realistic environments where a larger amount of objects are present. We present a…
Most modern approaches for tactile object recognition with robotic hands do not use proprioceptive data. In those that do, a limited number of objects with similar shapes is recognized. Furthermore, Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) based on raw values of joint angles/torques are frequently implemented whi…
