- The post argues that once touch becomes a native modality, humanoid robots can better track change and adapt in real time.
- It says long-horizon planning, dual-arm coordination, fine manipulation, and real-time reasoning all depend on continuous understanding of contact forces.
- It also notes that the team is building a full-stack tactile Physical AI system: tactile sensors, egocentric multimodal data, a UniTacVLA loop, its own humanoid robot Sparky, plus an in-house data center and collection pipeline.
- A public lecture by Prof. Michael Yu Wang is linked as further reading.
