The sensors characteristic error are modeled with probability density functions. The range data are used to describe the external shape of deformable objects and combining them with force measurements it allows to estimate the physical properties of the object.range sensorsimulatordeformable modelsestimatorphysical properties[VRAI]Framework for simulating deformable models and estimating their physical propertiesstudent work::master thesis
