At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), companies in the embodied AI sector are increasingly focusing on tactile sensing for robots. This shift is driven by the limitations of purely visual perception in complex manipulation tasks, where subtle contact information is crucial. Research, such as the "T-Rex" paper involving top AI researchers, suggests that integrating tactile data requires specialized models and processing pathways rather than simply adding it to existing visual systems.
