LingBot-Touch tactile foundation model unifies heterogeneous sensors for dexterous manipulation
robbyant · hf · 2026-11-10
- A team released LingBot-Touch, a tactile foundation model that learns a unified, extensible representation across heterogeneous tactile sensors (piezoresistive, magnetic, visuotactile).
- The resulting tactile tokens are plug-and-play, integrating into policy models from diffusion policy to VLA models like π₀.₅ and LingBot-VLA, consistently boosting manipulation dexterity.
- Experiments span simulation and real-robot deployments across multiple hardware platforms, showing substantial gains on complex manipulation tasks with strong computational efficiency.
