Material recognition using tactile sensing

作者：

Highlights：

• A system that can recognise materials based on tactile sensing alone is presented.

• Identification achieved by analysis of thermal conductivity and surface texture.

• Evaluation of various machine learning algorithms and developed hybrid classifiers.

• The system outperforms humans in the task of material recognition.
