    Robbyant open-sources LingBot-Touch tactile foundation model

    Robbyant has open-sourced LingBot-Touch, a tactile foundation model pretrained on about 5,000 hours of real tactile data that reads magnetic, vision-based tactile, and piezoresistive sensor inputs into a unified token space. Across 26 real robot tasks and two dexterous hands, four policies using these tokens all achieved the highest average success rates; on specific sensor models unseen during pretraining, a frozen encoder reduced contact-center error from 5.89 mm to 0.16 mm, outperforming an adapter built specifically for it.

    Why it matters: The tactile foundation model unifies multiple types of tactile sensors into the same token space and provides cross-sensor and cross-task transfer results.

    Ant Group's Lingbo open-sources LingBot-Touch, a tactile pretraining foundation model

    Ant Group's Lingbo has open-sourced LingBot-Touch, a tactile pretraining foundation model that uniformly encodes magnetic, visuotactile, and piezoresistive tactile signals into tactile tokens, which are then passed to the action model. Team experiments showed that when π0.5 was directly fed raw tactile readings on a zipper-pulling task, its success rate dropped from 39% to 15%; after connecting LingBot-Touch, it rose to 59%.

    Why it matters: The original provides a controlled experiment showing that feeding raw tactile signals into the action model instead lowers the success rate, along with the improvement after unifying tactile tokens, which can serve as a reference for tactile representation design.

    Tutor launches TRACE deployment-time compute scaling method and releases TI-0.1 model

    Tutor launches TRACE, which uses deployment-time compute scaling for robot learning: starting from a small number of Tutor demonstrations, a frontier large language model agent reconstructs the task in simulation and trains reliable, human-speed policies. TI-0.1 is the first model trained with TRACE. USV believes this further shows that deploying robots in the field accelerates learning, with each deployment generating training data, giving Tutor a new way to make robot learning continuously accumulate.

    NVIDIA releases VFlash visual planning decoding framework, robot action decoding up to 12x faster

    NVIDIA has released VFlash, a general-purpose decoding framework for fast visual planning that replaces token-by-token coordinate generation with parallel decoding of complete visual primitives, allowing it to predict robot grasp positions and motion trajectories in one pass. At batch size 1 on H100, single-generation speed improved by about 25x; across four MolmoSpaces tasks, the world action model averaged a 70.2% success rate versus a 62.6% baseline. Jim Fan shared that it achieves up to 12x faster action decoding, 5.1x overall robot inference speedup, and up to 61% lower 3D trajectory error.

    Why it matters: NVIDIA's new decoding framework changes visual planning from token-by-token generation to parallel prediction, and provides speedup and success-rate comparisons across multiple robot and autonomous-driving benchmarks.
