10,000-hour vision-tactile dataset drops as robot data gold rush fuels shovel sellers

CyberRobooo argues Claude Fable 5.2, GPT-6 Astra and Gemini Argon are sweeping through physical AI, with foundation models' appetite for physical data looking like a black hole.
The quoted DaimonRobotics example launched TacClaw-Infinity, a large-scale Vision-Tactile-Language-Action (VTLA) dataset for dexterous manipulation: 10,000+ hours, 1,000+ task types and 1M+ trajectories, targeting soft bags, rigid cartons and slippery bottles that need grip-force regulation and slip detection — vision tells robots what to pick, tactile feedback teaches them how.
The data gold rush is lifting shovel sellers: UMI/egocentric rigs, mocap, exoskeletons, tactile gloves, EMG wristbands and non-invasive BCI setups are all being pulled into the loop.
