Exploratory Movement Strategies for Texture Discrimination with a ...
In this work, we extend these findings by adopting a neuromorphic approach for texture discrimination that is both energy-efficient and capable of rapid inference [7] (Fig. 1). Despite notable advances, existing methods for tactile texture classification often rely on computationally intensive algorithms [8], offline processing [9], and fixed exploratory motions [10] that fail to capture the ...
In this paper, I argue that it is possible to understand Waismann's notion of open texture through the paradigm of prototype theory stemming from cognitive linguistics. Indeed, prototype theory conceives concepts as functioning according to a prototype whose concrete application remains indeterminate and flexible. Prototype theory entails thus the possibility that cases that challenge the ...

We propose a neuromorphic tactile sensing framework for robotic texture classification that is inspired by human exploratory strategies. Our system utilizes the NeuroTac sensor to capture neuromorphic tactile data during a series of exploratory motions. We first tested six distinct motions for texture classification under fixed environment: sliding, rotating, tapping, as well as the combined ...
The article further suggests the possibility to expand open texture to the description of the structure of all concepts, among which mathematical and logical concepts, by reconsidering open texture under the prism of prototype theory. This necessitates reassessing Waismanns idea that only empirical ' concepts feature open texture .
(PDF) Open Texture, Rigor, and Proof
Open texture is a kind of semantic indeterminacy first systematically studied by Waismann. In this paper, extant definitions of open texture will be compared and contrasted, with a view towards ...
A crossmodal classification approach then allowed us to uncover regions with shared texture representation across modalities. To achieve this, we developed an innovative method that combined virtual textures in the tactile and auditory domains to elicit different levels of friction.
Open Texture and Why Language Can Never Be Fully Defined
Open texture is the philosophical idea that no concept has a perfectly sealed definition. What if a cat could talk? What if gold were green? Boundaries always shift.
Abstract The purpose of this article is to explore the extent to which math-ematics is subject to open texture and the extent to which mathematics resists open texture .
ABSTRACT 'Open texture' is the property of concepts or terms that they are not fully defined with regard to unexpected questions. Even though it is a ubiquitous phenomenon, there is no consensus on which concepts are subject to open texture . I present three equivalent definitions of open texture , connecting the concept to the notions of analyticity and algebraicity. I show that the claim ...
