Abstract


This work presents an approach for classification of tactile imprints observed on the tactile system of an anthropomorphic robot hand. Various alternatives of representing the contact shapes and how they perform in the recognition task are shown. The evaluation of the approach considers two different tactile sensors, one representing a larger surface as the palm of the hand and one smaller sensor integrated into the fingers of the hand.
