392270 ISY Project: Robot learning of haptic skills in 3D (Pj) (SoSe 2020)

Sense of touch is central for interaction with our environment. In contrast to humans, robots are still far from performing seamless haptic interaction with 3D objects. In this project we employ reinforcement learning to teach a robot equipped with a tactile sensor array to explore its environment and to estimate basic structural properties of 3D objects, such as volume or curvature. The project is based on the previous work introduced under the following link: https://my.hidrive.com/lnk/lpgGER0I.
In case this would not find enough interest for a team project, this project proposal would be also offered (in reduced/modified form)
[x] as individual project
[x] as project for 2-3 students
