Several solutions are provided for the problem of a single spherical robot finger exploring a known smooth surface, starting with an unknown pose. Using pose estimates, pattern matching is performed between the robot’s internal model of the surface and the known model. The robot finger is guided to explore regions of the surface that will maximize the probability of recognition. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of one algorithm. In addition, it is shown that haptic exploration and dexterous manipulation can be achieved concurrently when multiple robot fingers are used.

Perceptualization of geometry using intelligent haptic and visual sensing
We present a set of paradigms for investigating geometric structures using haptic and visual sensing. Our principal test cases include smoothly embedded geometry shapes such as knotted curves embedded in 3D and knotted surfaces in 4D, that contain massive intersections when projected to one lower dimension. One can exploit a touch-responsive 3D interactive probe to haptically override this conf...
متن کاملExploration of 2D and 3D Environments using Voronoi Transform and Fast Marching Method
Robot navigation in unknown environments requires an efficient exploration method. Exploration involves not only to determine towards the robot must to move but also motion planning, and simultaneous localization and mapping processes. The final goal of the exploration task is to build a map of the environment that previously the robot didn’t know. This work proposes the Voronoi Fast Marching m...
متن کاملMap-merging in Multi-robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Process Using Two Heterogeneous Ground Robots
In this article, a fast and reliable map-merging algorithm is proposed to produce a global two dimensional map of an indoor environment in a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) process. In SLAM process, to find its way in this environment, a robot should be able to determine its position relative to a map formed from its observations. To solve this complex problem, simultan...
متن کاملComparison of Two Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping Measurement Methods Used For Anatomical Localization of the Iron-Incorporated Deep Brain Nuclei
Introduction Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a new contrast mechanism in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The images produced by the QSM enable researchers and clinicians to easily localize specific structures of the brain, such as deep brain nuclei. These nuclei are targets in many clinical applications and therefore their easy localization is a must. In this study, we aimed to i...
متن کاملDetection for Haptic Exploration with Robotic Fingers
The authors consider the detection of small surface features, such as cracks, bumps, and ridges, on the surface of an object during haptic exploration and dexterous manipulation. Surface feature definition and detection are essential for intelligent haptic exploration and modeling of unknown objects. First, the authors review the representation of object surface geometry and present definitions...
