Abstract
- We present Contour-net, a bio-inspired model for tactile contour-tracing driven by an Hopf oscillator. By controlling the rhythmic movements of a simulated insect-like feeler, the model executes both wide searching and local sampling movements. Contour-tracing is achieved by means of contact-induced phase-forwarding of the oscillator. To classify the shape of an object, collected contact events can be directly fed into machine learning algorithms with minimal pre-processing (scaling). Three types of classifiers were evaluated, the best one being a Support Vector Machine. The likelihood of correct classification steadily increases with the number of collected contacts, enabling an incremental classification during sampling. Given a sufficiently large training data set, tactile shape recognition can be achieved in a position-, orientation- and size-invariant manner. The suitability for robotic applications is discussed.
