Abstract

Active perception refers to a theoretical approach to thestudy of perception grounded on the idea that perceiving is a way ofacting, rather than a process whereby the brain constructs an internalrepresentation of the world. In this paper, we complement previousstudies by illustrating the operational principles of an active categorisationprocess in which a neuro-controlled anthropomorphic robotic arm,equipped with coarse-grained tactile sensors, is required to perceptuallycategorise spherical and ellipsoid objects.
