Neural network models of haptic shape perception

Johnsson, Magnus LU and Balkenius, Christian LU orcid (2007) In Robotics and Autonomous Systems 55(9). p.720-727
Abstract
Three different models of tactile shape perception inspired by the human haptic system were tested using an 8 d.o.f. robot hand with 45 tactile sensors. One model is based on the tensor product of different proprioceptive and tactile signals and a self-organizing map (SOM). The two other models replace the tensor product operation with a novel self-organizing neural network, the Tensor-Multiple Peak Self-Organizing Map (T-MPSOM). The two T-MPSOM models differ in the procedure employed to calculate the neural activation. The computational models were trained and tested with a set of objects consisting of hard spheres, blocks and cylinders. All the models learned to map different shapes to different areas of the SOM, and the tensor product... (More)
