The mathematical model emulated the real neuron discharge caused when a membrane potential exceeds a threshold. The membrane potential was determined by spatial and temporal summations of postsynaptic potential. To evaluate the mathematical model for surface texture recognition by robots, we performed a series of surface detection experiments using a robotic manipulator equipped with an optical three-axis tactile sensor. The single sensor cell of this sensor consisted of a columnar feeler and a 2-by-2 array of conical feelers. The three-axis force was calculated from the area-sum and area-difference of the conical feelers' contact areas. The robotic manipulator rubbed the tactile sensor on four brass plates with step-heights of 0, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 mm. It was found that the mathematical model could distinguish these step-heights.}, pages = {1719--1725}, title = {ヒトの表面粗さ認識機構を模倣した触覚認識システム}, volume = {69}, year = {2003} }
