Researchers have developed a novel approach called Local Encoder for Spatial Sensing (LESS) to improve tactile imaging for reconstructing the internal structure of soft objects. This method utilizes an object-centric representation that leverages the local nature of touch, modeling the tactile scene as a grid of recurrent encoders. LESS demonstrates strong generalization capabilities, allowing models trained on simple phantoms to accurately image more complex objects and enabling full 3D reconstruction. AI
