Leiphone reviews vision-based tactile sensor controversy and vendor progress: cost, thickness consistency, and data remain hurdles

Leiphone visited vision-based tactile vendors including Daimon, Yimu, Weitai, Qianjue, and Moliang, reviewing the principles, product specifications, and deployment scenarios of this technology route and responding to doubts such as "a camera plus silicone is easy to replicate." The article notes that domestic vendors have reached frame rates in the hundreds of Hz, thicknesses in the 3 mm range, and that multiple products offer IP65 or higher protection; Daimon proposed the VTLA architecture and open-sourced 10,000 hours of tactile data, but cost, consistency and durability, and how to integrate tactile data into model training remain hurdles the industry has yet to clear.
