arXiv:2606. 31694v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For robots manipulating open-world objects, tactile representations must generalize to unseen materials.
arXiv:2603. 14604v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose TacFiLM, a lightweight modality-fusion approach that integrates visual-tactile signals into vision-language-action (VLA) models.
arXiv:2606. 11743v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-language-action (VLA) models provide strong visual, language, and action priors for robot manipulation, but visual observations alone often miss the local contact state required for contact-rich tasks.
arXiv:2606. 14981v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Inference-time steering adapts pre-trained generative robot policies during deployment by verifying candidate actions before execution.
arXiv:2606. 24450v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Perceiving physical contact is fundamental to dexterous manipulation.
arXiv:2606. 24712v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Humans effortlessly locate and identify objects by touch alone, even without vision.
arXiv:2607. 03723v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual policies learned from human videos, teleoperation, and robot demonstrations offer scalable motion priors, but often fail in contact-rich manipulation, where success significantly depends on local force and contact geometry.
arXiv:2606. 11767v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Blind grasping with a dexterous hand is a crucial manipulation capability.
arXiv:2606. 11637v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Touch is a key modality for embodied agents to understand the physical world.
arXiv:2606. 31451v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unified multimodal models (UMMs) have shown great promise in integrating understanding and generation across diverse modalities.
arXiv:2608. 04043v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Resistive pressure arrays are the cheapest and most widely shipped tactile sensors, yet tactile representation learning has concentrated on optical sensors that image a deforming gel.
arXiv:2607. 05131v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Among the five primary human senses, tactile is arguably the most fundamental to survival, as it enables the perception of physical contact and interaction in real-world environments.
arXiv:2603. 25115v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Few-shot class-incremental learning (FSCIL) aims to recognize novel classes from only a few labeled samples while retaining previously learned knowledge.
