Meta's Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) 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 that integrates robots with the sense of touch.
Meta released Meta Digit 360, a tactile fingertip with multimodal sensing capabilities, and Meta Digit Plexus, a platform that integrates various tactile sensors into a single 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).
