Robotic Perception of Material: Experiments with Shape-Invariant Acoustic Measures of Material Type
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an active approach for discriminating different materials by impulsively contacting (hitting) them, and sensing and interpreting the resulting sounds. In theory, the angle of internal friction is diagnostic of material, but invariant over object shape. In our experiments, we observe that the angle of internal friction is not invariant over the frequency of the sound spectrum for which it is estimated. Hence, samples of different shapes, which exhibit power concentration at different frequencies, exhibit different values of the angle of internal friction. However, the results suggest that shape-invariance may be encoded in the functional form of the relation between the angle of internal friction and frequency.

Acoustic Wave propagation through multilayer Thue-Morse structures containing two, three and four materials of Cu, Al, MgO and Pb
In this paper, the acoustic wave propagation in multilayer Thue-Morse structures has theoretically been studied. The composing layers were assumed do be Cu, Al, Mgo and Pb materials. Two, three or four different materials have been used in a typical structure. By using a perpendicular incident acoustic wave, the transmission coefficient was calculated and then by its old, the frequency gaps was...
متن کاملA New Solution for the Cyclic Multiple-Part Type Three-Machine Robotic Cell Problem based on the Particle Swarm Meta-heuristic
In this paper, we develop a new mathematical model for a cyclic multiple-part type threemachine robotic cell problem. In this robotic cell a robot is used for material handling. The objective is finding a part sequence to minimize the cycle time (i.e.; maximize the throughput) with assumption of known robot movement. The developed model is based on Petri nets and provides a new method to calcul...
متن کاملHaile - an Interactive robotic percussionist
We present the current state of development of an interactive robotic percussionist, titled Haile, which is designed to demonstrate musicianship. We define robotic musicianship in this context as a combination of lowand high-level music perception skills, symbolic generation and transformation of musical material, and the capacity to produce varied acoustic responses.
متن کاملRobotic Perception of Material
In this paper, we develop a conceptual framework in which acts of manipulation are undertaken for the sake of perceiving material. Within this framework, we disambiguate different materials by actively contacting and probing them, and by sensing the resulting forces, displacements, and sounds. We report experimental results from four separate implementations of this framework using a variety of...
متن کاملStudy of the effect of shape on acoustic performance of micro perforated absorbent at low frequencies
Introduction: Micro-perforated absorbents are one of the structures that are widely used nowadays. The sound absorption mechanism is performed by viscous energy losses in the cavities on the plate. In this study, the acoustic properties of non-flat perforated panels in oblique angle was investigated in numerical method. Material and Methods: This paper examined the effect of the surface shape ...
