An Intelligent System for Human Intent and Environment Detection Through Tactile Data

The tackled application aims at demonstrating the effectiveness
of using tactile sensors for multiple purposes at the same time.
In particular, tactile data are exploited for: the estimation of a wire
diameter by using a previously trained classifier; teaching the robot new
wire routing trajectories in case of unknown grasped wires; stopping the
autonomous execution of previously learned trajectories to avoid damages
due to possible wire entanglements.
