Ant Group open-sources LingBot-Touch tactile foundation model for robots

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Ant Group has open-sourced LingBot-Touch, a foundation model designed for robot hands that utilizes tactile data. The model was trained on approximately 5,000 hours of real-world tactile information from various sensors. This advancement has reportedly improved the success rates of four different action models by 14 to 26 percentage points across 26 robotic tasks. AI

IMPACT This release could advance robotics by enabling more sophisticated tactile sensing and manipulation capabilities in robots.
