This is the video accompanying our IROS 2014 paper – “Haptic Exploration of Unknown Surfaces with Discontinuities”. We used a KUKA LWR (Lightweight arm) robot, equipped with a 6-axis force/torque sensor and a rolling pin at the end-effector. The work will be presented in September at IROS 2014 conference, Chicago, USA.
