Robbyant released LingBot-Touch, an open-source tactile foundation model for dexterous manipulation, pretrained on nearly 5,000 hours of real tactile data. Unified heterogeneous tactile modeling enables transfer across sensors, dexterous hands, tasks, and action models.
Notably, it topped benchmarks across four different action models and 26 real-world tasks. A companion movement model drops on the 18th — the combination could be where things get interesting.
