Advances in the Trinity Tactile Simulation Platform
aran_nayebi · x · 2026-07-14
This work is led by @Milotrince, in collaboration with CMU's SCS and @gsai.
Key results include:
- Scales to 16k+ parallel environments and 1000+ taxels on a single GPU.
- Research found that whole-hand tactile sensing is more effective than fingertip-only sensing.
- The importance of high-resolution, high-fidelity force/torque sensing outweighs the sensor placement or type itself.
- They are the first tactile simulation platform to implement temperature + audio perception, demonstrating the benefits of these capabilities.
The post also mentions Trinity is the first graduate of the NeuroAgents lab and includes a video of the related master's thesis report.
