Abstract
Systems and methods for tactile output estimation are provided. In one embodiment, the system includes a depth map module, an estimation module, and a surface module. The depth map module is configured to identify a region of interest (RoI) of an object. The area of the RoI corresponds to a tactile sensor size of a tactile sensor. The depth module is further configured to receive depth data for the RoI from a depth sensor and generate a depth map for the RoI based on a volume of the depth data relative to a frame of reference of the RoI. The estimation module is configured to estimate a tactile sensor output based on the depth map. The surface module configured to determine surface properties based on the estimated tactile sensor output.
