Robots learn dexterous sushi manipulation with tactile feedback

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed TacSushi, a novel world-action policy that utilizes tactile feedback to improve robotic manipulation of deformable objects like sushi. This system, built on the Cosmos3 model, learns from recorded future consequences and incorporates fingertip tactile data through a feature-wise gated fusion mechanism. In real-world trials, TacSushi demonstrated significantly higher success rates in both in-distribution and out-of-distribution tasks compared to methods lacking tactile grounding or future-consequence supervision. AI

IMPACT Enhances robotic manipulation capabilities for complex, deformable objects, potentially improving automation in food preparation and other delicate tasks.

    TacSushi: Tactile-Grounded World-Action Modeling for Dexterous Sushi Manipulation

    arXiv:2609.19613v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dexterous food manipulation requires control under deformation, occlusion, and uncertain contact. We present TacSushi, a tactile-grounded, Cosmos3-based world-action policy that learns from recorded future consequences while actin…
