Robbyant releases LingBot-Touch, a tactile model giving robot hands human-like touch sensing
CyberRobooo · x · 2026-11-10
Robbyant released LingBot-Touch, a model that helps robot hands make sense of what they touch — the kind of fingertip awareness humans use when twisting a bottle cap blind. It unifies heterogeneous tactile sensors (camera-based, magnetic, pressure) into a shared fingertip space, reading them as one set of tactile tokens via a shared Haptic Transformer, supporting downstream VLA/imitation learning and RL tasks.
