ABSTRACT

Systems and methods for taxel hyper-resolution output are provided. Tactile
sensors contact an object and produce taxel data for each contact made. Taxel
data from the tactile sensors is encoded and compared with detailed geometric
data of a known object to generate a set of ranked poses. For each pose one or
more substantially matching candidate poses from the stored geometric data are
generated. Pairs of poses are iteratively compared with pairs of candidate
poses to determine the most probable candidate pose for each pose. Taxel
hyper-resolution data for determined poses is generated from the detailed
geometric data and output for use by downstream systems.
