Ant Group's Robbyant team released LingBot Touch, a JEPA-based tactile foundation model for robotic manipulation, now open-sourced on Hugging Face under Apache 2.0.
Key points:
- Ships in Tiny and Small sizes
- Unifies three tactile modalities: magnetic, piezoresistive, and visuotactile
- Uses a shared Transformer to handle heterogeneous tactile sensors
- Learns contact structure and temporal dynamics
