Abstract

Within the framework of a model of vision-based robotic grasping inspired on neuroscience data, we deal with the problem of object orientation estimation by analyzing human psychophysical data in order to reproduce them in an artificial setup. A set of ANN is implemented which, on the one hand, allows to replicate some neuroscientific findings and, on the other hand, constitutes a tool for slant estimation that can improve the reliability of artificial vision systems, namely those dedicated to analyze visual data inherent to the interaction robot-environment, such as in grasping actions. The implementation confirms the hypothesis that integration of monocular and binocular data for the extraction of action-related object properties can provide an artificial system with improved pose estimation capabilities.
