Researchers have introduced $\mathcal{N}_0$-Foundation, a new framework for tactile-enabled embodied manipulation. This system integrates tactile sensing hardware, large-scale multimodal data, and novel representation learning techniques. The project includes the development of NeoData, a dataset comprising over 30,000 hours of synchronized visual and tactile demonstrations, and OpenNeoData, a 5,000-hour open-source subset. Additionally, they propose NeoForce, a visuo-tactile representation model designed to learn transferable tactile representations across different sensors, and a comprehensive benchmark suite for evaluating tactile embodied models.
