Haptic sensing and feedback play extremely important roles for humans and robots to perceive, understand, and manipulate the world. Since many properties perceived by the haptic sensors can be characterized by adjectives, it is reasonable to develop a set of haptic adjectives for the haptic understanding. This formulates the haptic understanding as a multilabel classification problem. In this paper, we exploit the intrinsic relation between different adjective labels and develop a novel dictionary learning method which is improved by introducing the structured output association information. Such a method makes use of the label correlation information and is more suitable for the multilabel haptic understanding task. In addition, we develop two iterative algorithms to solve the dictionary learning and classifier design problems, respectively. Finally, we perform extensive experimental validations on the public available haptic sequence dataset Penn Haptic Adjective Corpus 2 and show the advantages of the proposed method.
