Ant Group’s Robbyant open-sources tactile AI model for robot hands

Ant Group's robotics unit Robbyant has open-sourced the model weights and inference code for LingBot-Touch, a tactile AI model for robot hands, trained on nearly 5,000 hours of recordings from three types of tactile sensors so it can work across different hardware. Robbyant evaluated LingBot-Touch on 26 real-world tasks using two robotic hands, including handling fragile objects and coordinating both hands.
