TouchSight is a monocular egocentric vision framework that predicts dense full-hand contact forces without tactile sensors. It uses 500 hours of pressure-glove data and a 20-hour TwinTouch-20H dataset where generative models render gloved recordings as bare-hand videos, bridging the appearance gap. The system outperforms previous methods on OakInk2, generalizes to unseen natural bare-hand egocentric videos, and improves as glove supervision increases.
ControlTac is a two‑stage framework that generates realistic tactile images conditioned on a single reference image, contact force, and contact pose. By incorporating these physical priors, it produces realistic samples across different sensors and captures task‑relevant variations. Experiments in object insertion, imitation learning, and object weighting show that datasets augmented with ControlTac consistently improve performance in dynamic real‑world settings.

TouchSight is a monocular egocentric vision framework that predicts dense full-hand contact forces from video. It uses 500 hours of pressure‑glove recordings and hand‑object interaction data, and introduces TwinTouch‑20H, a dataset of 20 hours of paired visual data where generative models render gloved recordings as bare‑hand observations while preserving tactile labels. The system outperforms prior methods on OakInk2, generalizes qualitatively to natural bare‑hand egocentric videos from unseen datasets, and improves consistently as glove supervision scales.

DexTouch-WM is an action‑conditioned world model that learns from scalable human touch to predict future RGB observations and bilateral tactile dynamics for dexterous robot manipulation. By using compatible piezoresistive arrays on both human and robot hands and retargeting human motion into the robot action space, the model can be supervised with human interaction data while keeping a fixed amount of real‑robot supervision. Experiments show that adding up to 100 hours of human interaction improves robot‑domain visual, geometric, and contact prediction, and the model can serve as a surrogate environment for policy evaluation and synthetic trajectory generation.
