Meta's Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) has released three new research artefacts that advance touch perception, robot dexterity, and human-robot interaction.
Meta Sparsh is a general-purpose encoder for vision-based tactile sensing, integrating robots with the sense of touch.
Meta Digit 360 is a tactile fingertip with multimodal sensing capabilities, while Meta Digit Plexus is a platform that integrates various tactile sensors into a robotic arm.
Meta's advancements in robotics aim to help builders develop machines that understand the world and support their goal of reaching advanced machine intelligence (AMI).
