• Abstract: As humans can explore and understand the world through active touch, similar capability is desired for robots. In this paper, we address the problem of active tactile object recognition, pose estimation and shape transfer learning, where a customized particle filter (PF) and Gaussian process implicit surface (GPIS) is combined in a unified Bayesian framework. Upon new tactile input, the customized PF updates the joint distribution of the object class and object pose while tracking the novelty of the object. Once a novel object is identified, its shape will be reconstructed using GPIS. By grounding the prior of the GPIS with the maximum-a-posteriori (MAP) estimation from the PF, the knowledge about known shapes can be transferred to learn novel shapes. An exploration procedure based on global shape estimation is proposed to guide active data acquisition and terminate the exploration upon sufficient information. Through experiments in simulation, the proposed framework demonstrated its effectiveness and efficiency in estimating object class and pose for known objects and learning novel shapes. Furthermore, it can recognize previously learned shapes reliably.

  Humans build 3D understandings of the world through active object exploration, using jointly their senses of vision and touch. In 3D shape reconstruction, most recent progress has relied on static datasets of limited sensory data such as RGB images, depth maps or haptic readings. We introduce a system composed of: 1) a haptic simulator leveraging high spatial resolution vision-based tactile sensors for active touching of 3D objects; 2) a mesh-based 3D shape reconstruction model that relies on tactile or visuotactile priors to guide the shape exploration; and 3) a set of data-driven solutions with either tactile or visuo
