Arik Slepyan presented OpenTac, an open ecosystem for 3D tactile sensing on any robot surface: design and fabricate high-density tactile skins, read them out, simulate them, and share data across different sensors. Commenters note that reducing the burden of building bespoke tactile systems per robot could significantly advance Physical AI.
