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.

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.
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. In this paper, we explore two key challenges of integrating tactile sensing into intelligent systems for multimodal reasoning: (i) insufficient modeling of dynamic tactile signals, which restricts reasoning over temporally evolving properties, and (ii) hallucination in tactile foundation models caused by the absence of explicit reasoning mechanisms, leading to unstable real-world inference.
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.
