The shapes of most real-world objects are symmetric with respect to at least one plane of symmetry. This information is unconsciously used by humans when they attempt to estimate the shape of an object in presence of uncertainty or missing evidence, for example if the object is partially occluded or if they are exploring the object by touch (i.e. haptic exploration). In robotics, this concept has ...
