Direct Video-Action Architecture
“To accomplish this task, our direct video action model predicts future tactile signals. An inverse dynamics model then translates those predictions into robot actions. As the robot moves, new generated predictions guide its next actions.”

Sensitivity & Dynamic Range Benchmark
“The sensor can detect even the touch of a feather, contact that produces no distinguishable response in the off-the-shelf optical and magnetic tactile sensors that we tested. The sensor can even detect light contact after heavy loading. It can also resolve high frequency vibrations, helping us distinguish between different surface textures.”

Call to Action
Dexterity Vision & Logo Outro
“Just as touch is essential to human dexterity, we believe giving robots a sense of touch will help them handle delicate objects, manipulate objects hidden from view, and better understand the physical world around them.”
