The project goal is the evolution of a scheme to determine an object's          shape by tactile sensing.  A crucial direction of research in robotics          is the development of machines that interact with their environments            comprehensively and intelligently.  This research addresses a part of           the effort, namely the probing of unknown surfaces and objects by               tactile sensing, the determination of the shape of the surface or               object from this information, and the effect of this shape                      determination on control algorithms.  The work combines elements of             mechanics, online control, estimation theory, and artificial                    intelligence.
