Toward object recognition and manipulation by human motion data with vision and tactile sensation

In this paper, robot control by human motion data is considered. The conventional motion reproduction structure had its limitation on the performance due to the lack of means for environmental sensing. This study implements the widely used vision based approach. The possible reproduction structure with both visual and tactile senses are discussed. The proposed reproduction structure with both visual and tactile senses are evaluated in experiments in which the conventional reproduction structure is not applicable.
