UniTacVLA builds a state-aware and dynamics-aware tactile prior via unified latent space, tactile chain-of-thought, and mixed real/predicted feedback controller to boost dexterous manipulation performance.
TAP-VLA improves VLA performance in contact-rich manipulation by visually annotating tactile shear fields onto input images, reaching 78% success versus under 50% for vision-only and other tactile methods.
DAM-VLA decouples per-modality temporal processing in vision-language-action models via latent buffers refreshed at sensor rates, achieving 95.2% average success versus 40.95% for synchronous baselines on seven real-world manipulation tasks while enabling 100 Hz control.
TacForeSight trains a force-conditioned tactile world model to predict latent dynamics and uses those predictions as anticipatory priors inside a visuo-tactile policy for real-time contact-rich manipulation.
TacCoRL integrates tactile feedback into VLA policies via real-aligned simulation co-training and RL, raising average success from 50% to 72.5% on four bimanual contact-rich tasks with direct real-robot transfer.
Presents arm-worn AetheRock hardware for multi-modal data collection and ForceVT learning method to improve tactile inference robustness despite sensor variations.
FlexiTac is a scalable piezoresistive tactile sensing system with flexible FPC-Velostat-FPC pads and a 100 Hz multi-channel readout board that mounts on rigid or soft grippers and supports visuo-tactile learning.
