mangahomanga · x · 2026-09-25
The "Scalable Tactile Sensing for Dexterous Manipulation" workshop at IROS 2026 (Pittsburgh, Sept 27) brings together researchers in tactile sensor design, contact modeling, simulation, and robot learning.
- Core thesis: touch is the missing layer of embodied intelligence, still far behind human capability in resolution, coverage, speed, and integration
- Topics: scalable tactile skins, tactile simulation, visuo-tactile learning, tactile foundation models, and sim-to-real transfer for complex multi-finger contacts
- Confirmed invited speakers from academia and industry; paper deadline Aug 28
