TLDR

A Rhoda team member says the company built a tactile sensor in-house that senses texture, firmness and vibration while being much smaller than commercially available sensors. The team member says previous sensors had not matched human skin’s ability to sense all three at a viable form factor.

Vincent Sitzmann@vincesitzmannTouch is essential to human manipulation. Yet, we have so far not had a tactile sensor that can do what human skin can: sense texture, firmness, vibration at a viable form factor. At Rhoda, we have built a new sensor in-house that can do all of these things, while being much much smaller than commercially available ones!1h
Joanne Truong@joannetruongExciting to see how naturally DVA extends to new modalities! Most robot policies still learn without touch, even though it matters most when vision falls short: occlusion, contact, etc. It was so much fun to see this come together, congrats @leooeld @AndrewEJXie @DaveLindell!50m
