Guanya Shi's team previews 17 demos at CoRL 2026 spanning humanoids, robot foundation models, dexterous manipulation, and tactile sensing. OpenTac will be demoed live: an open tactile sensor family layering a TPU bump overlay, piezoresistive film, and flex-PCB electrodes to sense normal and shear force across taxel arrays, fitting multiple grippers and hand morphologies.
