Popis: This paper discusses an original model-based method for blind robotic tactile recognition of three-dimensional objects. Conveniently shaped geometric symbols representing terms of a pseudorandom array (PRA) are embossed on object surfaces. Symbols recovered by tactile probing are recognized using a neural network and then clustered in a PRA window that contains enough information to fully identify the absolute coordinates of the recovered window within the encoding PRA. By knowing how different object models were mapped to the PRA, it is possible to unambiguously identify the object face and the exact position of the recovered symbols on the face.
