RT Conference Proceedings T1 Transfer learning or design a custom CNN for tactile object recognition A1 Gandarias, Juan Manuel A1 Pastor-Martín, Francisco A1 Muñoz-Ramírez, Antonio José A1 García-Cerezo, Alfonso José A1 Gómez-de-Gabriel, Jesús Manuel K1 Sensores AB Novel tactile sensors allow treating pressure lectures as standard images due to its highresolution. Therefore, computer vision algorithms such as Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs) can be used to identify objects in contact. In this work, a high-resolution tactilesensor has been attached to a robotic end-effector to identify objects in contact. Moreover,two CNNs-based approaches have been tested in an experiment of classification of pressureimages. These methods include a transfer learning approach using a pre-trained CNN on anRGB images dataset and a custom-made CNN trained from scratch with tactile information.A comparative study of performance between them has been carried out.
