mjlab adds tactile sensing: grid of taxels on collision geom surfaces
kevin_zakka · x · 2026-11-12
mjlab developer kevinzakka announced tactile sensing support in mjlab, the MuJoCo-based robotics simulation library.
The implementation wraps MuJoCo's tactile sensor, placing a grid of taxels on the surface of a collision geom to simulate touch signals (300 lines in tactilesensor.py). Useful for training manipulation policies that rely on touch, directly available for sim2real tactile research.
