First 3D generalizable handheld tactile imaging system sees inside soft objects via touch

AvivTamar1 · x · 2026-11-09

Zohar Rimon's team will demo their RSS 2026-accepted work "More with LESS: Local Scene Representation for Tactile Imaging" at CoRL 2026 — the first-ever 3D, generalizable, handheld tactile imaging system.

The system learns to visualize the inner structure of soft objects purely through touch, and leverages the locality of touch for large-scale tactile self-supervised learning (SSL).
