A bio-inspired method for friction estimation

Few years old children lift and manipulate unfamiliar objects more dexterously than today's robots. Therefore, it has arisen an interest at the artificial intelligence community to look for inspiration on neurophysiological studies to design better models for the robots. The estimation of the f...
