• Abstract: In this paper, we address the problem of estimating the in-hand 6D pose of an object in contact with multiple vision-based tactile sensors. We reason on the possible spatial configurations of the sensors along the object surface. Specifically, we filter contact hypotheses using geometric reasoning and a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), trained on simulated object-agnostic images, to promote those that better comply with the actual tactile images from the sensors. We use the selected sensors configurations to optimize over the space of 6D poses using a Gradient Descent-based approach. We finally rank the obtained poses by penalizing those that are in collision with the sensors. We carry out experiments in simulation using the DIGIT vision-based sensor with several objects, from the standard YCB model set. The results demonstrate that our approach estimates object poses that are compatible with actual object-sensor contacts in $87.5\%$ of cases while reaching an average positional error in the order of $2$ centimeters. Our analysis also includes qualitative results of experiments with a real DIGIT sensor.

  We investigate the application of state-of-the-art monocular depth estimation to infer dense internal (tactile) depth maps directly from an internal single small IR imaging sensor. We show that deep networks typically used for long-range depth estimation (1-100m) can be effectively trained for precise predictions at a much shorter range (1-100mm) inside a mostly textureless deformable fluid-filled sensor. We propose a simple supervised learning process to train an object-agnostic network requiring less than 10 random poses in contact for less than 10 seconds for a small set of diverse objects.

Our model is experimentally shown to achieve similar results with marker-based methods and outperform the markerless ones, while also being robust to the pose variations of the calibration structure.
