RoboTac 2022
The 4th IEEE/RSJ International Workshop
October 23, 2022
Visuo-Tactile Predictive Coding and Active Inference for Grasp and Manipulation
New Advances in Tactile Sensation, Interactive Perception, and Learning
The Workshop will be in Hybrid format (in person and virtual)
The schedule can be found via the Program menu above.
Objectives
Haptics, or the sense of touch, enables humans to interact with their environment and is crucial to manipulation challenges in everyday life. It enables grasping, manipulation, learning, and decision-making based on the information from mechanoreceptors distributed in muscles and over the skin. Humans use haptic exploration to interact with their environment, e.g. to recognize an object's shape and mechanical properties
