BIDETA: Brain-Inspired Data-Efficient Tactile Adaptation for Unseen Sensors

BIDETA is a gradient‑free framework that adapts pretrained tactile models to new sensors using only a few labeled target contacts. It preserves pretrained representations while repairing sensor‑dependent feature neighborhoods through rapid support memory, support‑conditioned spectral graphs, and reliability‑gated recurrence. Experiments on multiple datasets show that BIDETA dramatically improves accuracy and speeds up adaptation compared to prior methods.

TacSushi: Tactile-Grounded World-Action Modeling for Dexterous Sushi Manipulation

TacSushi is a tactile‑grounded, Cosmos3‑based world‑action policy for dexterous sushi manipulation. It encodes RGB, language, and hand state, fusing fingertip tactile data via feature‑wise gated fusion, and learns from future‑consequence predictions while excluding failed actions from imitation. Trained on 340 successful and 50 failed trials, TacSushi achieves 68.3% in‑distribution and 37.5% out‑of‑distribution success, outperforming baselines that lack future‑consequence supervision or use direct tactile concatenation.
