It is soooooo awesome to see UMI + Tactile comes to life! I am very impressed how quickly the whole hardware + software system is built. Meanwhile, they even collected lots of the data in the wild! Very amazing work!!!.
Tactile interaction in the wild can unlock fine-grained manipulation! 🌿🤖✋. We built a portable handheld tactile gripper that enables large-scale visuo-tactile data collection in real-world settings. By pretraining on this data, we bridge vision and touch—allowing robots to:

Two releases in a row from our lab today 😆. One problem I was always pondering on is how to use structured representation while making it scalable. Super excited that Kaifeng's work pushes this direction forward and I cannot wait to see what's more in the future!!.

Our tasks involve contact-rich manipulation and multi-object interactions, enabled by the visuomotor policy learned from demonstrations. To stow the book, the robot first squeezes in the book, pushes other books aside to find space, and finally inserts the book. (8/9)

Geometric relations are also important for manipulation tasks. Our system can also capture geometric relations, as evidenced by the following battery packing task. The user can specify the target battery by its relative location, such as “frontmost” or “right column”. (7/9)

Moreover, our framework can understand more fine-grained semantic information, such as names on the book cover, and select the right book instance to stow books. (6/9)
