Splash framework enables MLLMs to learn tactile sensing without forgetting vision-language skills

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed Splash, a novel framework designed to integrate tactile sensing capabilities into multimodal large language models (MLLMs) without compromising their existing vision-language reasoning abilities. This is achieved by selectively updating model parameters, preserving critical knowledge while adapting new tactile data. Splash has demonstrated state-of-the-art performance on several visuo-tactile benchmarks, including SSVTP, TVL, and TacQuad, while maintaining its general-purpose functionalities and incurring no additional inference overhead.
