Visuo-Tactile World Models

Carolina Higuera, Sergio Arnaud, Byron Boots +3

We introduce multi-task Visuo-Tactile World Models (VT-WM), which capture the physics of contact through touch reasoning. By complementing vision with tactile sensing, VT-WM better…

Tactile Beyond Pixels: Multisensory Touch Representations for Robot Manipulation

Carolina Higuera, Akash Sharma, Taosha Fan +8

We present Sparsh-X, the first multisensory touch representations across four tactile modalities: image, audio, motion, and pressure. Trained on ~1M contact-rich interactions colle…

Self-supervised perception for tactile skin covered dexterous hands

Akash Sharma, Carolina Higuera, Chaithanya Krishna Bodduluri +9

We present Sparsh-skin, a pre-trained encoder for magnetic skin sensors distributed across the fingertips, phalanges, and palm of a dexterous robot hand. Magnetic tactile skins off…

Sparsh: Self-supervised touch representations for vision-based tactile sensing

Carolina Higuera, Akash Sharma, Chaithanya Krishna Bodduluri +8

In this work, we introduce general purpose touch representations for the increasingly accessible class of vision-based tactile sensors. Such sensors have led to many recent advance…

Perceiving Extrinsic Contacts from Touch Improves Learning Insertion Policies

Carolina Higuera, Joseph Ortiz, Haozhi Qi +3

Robotic manipulation tasks such as object insertion typically involve interactions between object and environment, namely extrinsic contacts. Prior work on Neural Contact Fields (N…
