The author states that unlocking the next wave of robotics advancements relies heavily on large-scale tactile perception. Over the past year, collaborating with @gsai, they built a comprehensive, highly realistic tactile simulator to answer the question: "what should the robot hands of the future look like?"
The cited research highlights the background: while robotic motor control has greatly benefited from simulation, "tactile" sensing has lagged behind. Their work, Tactile Genesis, attempts to bring tactile sensing into scalable simulation, helping to faster compare different tactile hardware and force-feedback-based policies.
