Having two arms is a great idea. Indeed, our newer robot has two arms, and they even have inherent compliance, which makes it easier for the robot to bump into things without breaking itself :-)
A perceptual task, roughly put, is a process of acquiring information about the world. We are particularly interested in cases where the robot does not have prior knowledge.
Check out the newest movie on the channel --- it shows an extension of this work into 3D objects!
The system uses object templates that contain motion information. The robot pokes the object with its arm separating the object from its background. Interaction by the robot records range of motion.
I think the robot should have two arms for testing range of motion of the object. It should test for useful ranges of motion on the object and pattern match to existing motion ranges to determine application. Have the robot solve the use of a socket wrench.

What defines a perceptual task?
The system uses object templates that contain motion information. The robot pokes the object with its arm separating the object from its background. Interaction by the robot records range of motion.
