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...

description 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 friction coefficient of the object's material is a crucial information in a human dexterous manipulation. Humans estimate the friction coefficient based on the responses of their tactile mechanoreceptors. In this paper, we propose a method to estimate the friction coefficient using artificial neural networks that receive as input simulated human afferent responses. This method is strongly inspired on neurophysiological studies of the afferent responses during the human dexterous manipulation of objects.
