Abstract
We have implemented four bio-inspired selforganizing

haptic systems based on proprioception on a 12

d.o.f. anthropomorphic robot hand. The four systems differ in

the kind of self-organizing neural network used for clustering.

For the mapping of the explored objects, one system uses a Self-

Organizing Map (SOM), one uses a Growing Cell Structure

(GCS), one uses a Growing Cell Structure with Deletion of

Neurons (GCS-DN) and one uses a Growing Grid (GG). The

systems were trained and tested with 10 different objects

of different sizes from two different shape categories. The

generalization abilities of the systems were tested with 6 new

objects.... (More)

of different sizes from two different shape categories. The

generalization abilities of the systems were tested with 6 new

objects. The systems showed good performance with the objects

from both the training set as well as in the generalization

experiments, i.e. they mapped the objects according to shape

and size and discriminated individual objects. The GCS-DN

system managed to evolve disconnected networks representing

different clusters in the input space (small cylinders, large

cylinders, small blocks, large blocks), and the generalization

samples activated neurons in a proper subnetwork in all but

one case. (Less)
