The Fingertip Feels Three Axes for Under Fifty Dollars
PanoTac supplies a 12-by-32-by-3 tactile field at 60 hertz; policies beat vision-only baselines by an average 46.7 percentage points on three contact-rich tasks.
Summary
PanoTac supplies a 12-by-32-by-3 tactile field at 60 hertz; policies beat vision-only baselines by an average 46.7 percentage points on three contact-rich tasks.
Removing either spatial contact structure or shear feedback reduced performance. The result covers test-tube preparation, grain scooping and salt pouring on the reported robot setup.
