How LingBot-Touch works: one shared Haptic Transformer unifies magnetic, piezoresistive and visuotactile signals
CyberRobooo · x · 2026-11-10
The core problem LingBot-Touch solves: touch sensors don't speak one language — camera-based fingertips, magnetic and pressure sensors each measure different things. Architecturally (see diagram), it tokenizes magnetic, piezoresistive and visuotactile signals and feeds them through a shared Haptic Transformer (with 5D RoPE and a dual context/target encoder masked-prediction scheme), mapping all three onto a canonical spherical fingertip space and reading them as one set of tactile tokens for downstream models.
