System and Method for Estimating Properties of an Object

Abstract: the present invention provides a system and a method for estimating object properties. the system comprises a multi-finger end effector equipped with tactile sensors capable of detecting normal and tangential forces at multiple contact points and enabling 3d interactive actions to gather comprehensive tactile information; an information processing unit including an action selector for dynamically generating action sequences based on prior knowledge of the object and desired properties and a property estimator for analysing collected tactile data to estimate object properties; and a data management unit for providing prior data for action selection and property estimation and saving new results and inputted parameters. by leveraging multi-point, multi-directional sensing, variable 3d testing actions, and multiple data-based estimation, this invention enhances the scope of object property estimation, addressing limitations of conventional tactile sensing approaches.
