Today at Meta FAIR we’re announcing three new cutting-edge developments in robotics and touch perception — and releasing a collection of artifacts to empower the community to build on this work. Details on all of this new work ➡️ go.fb.me/mmmu9d 1️⃣ Meta Sparsh is the

I am very excited to introduce Digit360, our new super-human omnidirectional tactile sensor. Digit360 is truly multimodal (sensing forces as small as 1 mN, geometries down to 7 µm, vibrations to 9Khz, heat, and even smell). (1/3)

What a wonderful journey working on Sparsh. I am looking forward to seeing the community building and awesome research around tactile sensing that a shared backbone can unlock. We will be at #Corl2024 presenting our work. #Fulbright Fulbright Colombia

Awesome touch perception work from Meta Robotics researchers, including Mustafa Mukadam !

Very excited to share our latest open source advancements in embodied AI from Meta FAIR: new work across touch perception, dexterity, and human interaction with robots. Crucially important capabilities on the journey towards Advanced Machine Intelligence. ai.meta.com/blog/fair-robo…

Excited to present Sparsh today, along with a bunch of other tactile sensing work with the team! It has been such a rewarding experience working with the team, and I'm excited to see all the work in tactile sensing that Sparsh and Digit360 will enable! We will be at #Corl2024!

Very excited to see the research results finally coming out! It's amazing to be part of the team working on touch sensing and robot dexterity!

Nice work from meta friends!

Really cool to see the papers on touch finally out from Embodied AI at Meta. It was exciting to see these works in progress during my time there. Glad to also be in the acknowledgements :)

Robots!

Meta is Working on Robots!! They unveiled three major developments in touch sensing: ⦿ A universal touch encoder ⦿ An artificial fingertip with multimodal sensing for tactile interaction ⦿ A platform for robotic hands for integrated tactile sensing

Meta Sparsh, the first general-purpose encoder for vision-based touch sensing, is 1 of the 3 new robotics advancements presented by AI at Meta FAIR It's a set of self-supervised learning (SSL) models compatible with various touch sensors that doesn’t need labeled data Details🧵

Figure Meta announced robotics research at FAIR Most notable was the push for touch perception in robotics -- which included a general-purpose touch encoder, an artificial fingertip with multimodal sensing, and a platform to integrate sense for robotic hands
