Abstract(in English) Our research aims at clarifying the mechanism of haptic shape perception of soft objects by active touch with instruments. When we slides a finger across a bumpy surface, we can acquire the position and force cues. From this fact, we propose a shape perception model based on the relationship among the transition of position and force. This model is introduced from the relationship between haptic shape perception of objects and shape (physical) properties. We have evaluated the proposed model by measuring trajectories in active touch. From the psychophysical experiments using haptic device, it has been indicated that gradient of shape contributes to haptic perception by active touch, and that the gradient can be estimated from the transitions of position and force in tracing the surface of soft objects.
