- Additional information
- This output represented the integration of touch attention mechanisms in the action-perception loop typically involved in active haptic exploration tasks of surfaces by robotic hands. Experiments in simulation showed the selectivity and generalisation capabilities of attention mechanisms in this context. The significance of this paper is that it resulted from research conducted in the HANDLE EC FP7 project, leading to collaboration links between NTU, the University of Coimbra, IST Lisbon, UPMC, UCM, Kings College, Orebro, and UH, and also companies such as Shadow Robot. The underpinning research led to a PhD with co-supervision by the primary author from NTU.
