LingBot-Touch: open-source tactile foundation model pretrained on ~5,000 hours of real data

Robbyant released LingBot-Touch, an open-source tactile foundation model for dexterous manipulation, pretrained on nearly 5,000 hours of real tactile data. Through unified heterogeneous tactile modeling, it supports transfer across sensors, dexterous hands, tasks, and action models. A resharing comment highlights a natural use case: laundry sorting and other soft-fabric tasks, where cameras struggle to tell how much fabric the hand is actually holding.
