Single-grasp object classification & feature extraction with haptic sensing

Published on Jan 21, 2016

An underactuated robotic hand equipped with tactile sensors is used to classify objects and extract physical properties (size, shape & stiffness) during a single grasp. This may be useful in industrial or exploration settings, as the robot can quickly identify objects using only its sense of touch.

This video accompanies the paper 'Single-Grasp Object Classification and Feature Extraction with Simple Robot Hands and Tactile Sensors', which will be published in IEEE Transactions on Haptics.
