Researchers have developed TACTIC, a new controller designed for whole-arm manipulation tasks that involve complex contact dynamics. This system integrates RGB-D vision, distributed tactile sensing, and a proximity representation to create a hybrid predictive model. TACTIC couples a learned latent dynamics model with analytical kinematics, enabling it to predict future contact configurations and interaction forces for more robust control. AI
