This work presents a representation of 3D object shape using a probabilistic volumetric map derived from in-hand exploration. The exploratory procedure is based on contour following through the fingertip movements on the object surface. We first consider the simple case of having single hand exploration of a static object. The cumulative pose data provides a 3D point cloud that is quantized to the probabilistic volumetric map. For each voxel we have a probability distribution for the occupancy…

A Probabilistic Framework to Detect Suitable Grasping Regions on Objects
TLDR
This work relies on a probabilistic framework to search for suitable grasping regions on objects based on occupancy grid representation that deals with the sensor uncertainty allowing later the decomposition of the object global shape into components.

Iterative Surface Mapping Using Local Geometry Approximation with Sparse Measurements During Robotic Tooling Tasks
TLDR
It is shown that the surface geometry can be mapped reasonably accurate with a mean absolute error below 1 mm, and different update strategies for the grid points, where the approximation is valid to consider the locality of the planar approximation are proposed.

TLDR
This work proposes and compares two novel discriminative and generative tactile learners that produce probability distributions over objects during object grasping/ palpation using the sparse online infinite Echo-State Gaussian process, and indicates that tactile signals are highly relevant for making accurate object classifications.
Representation of 3D Space and Sensor Modelling Within a Probabilistic Framework
