Humans usually guess what robots feel.
This system actually lets you feel it.
This is an end-to-end high resolution touch teleoperation demo built with Samsung.
Real tactile signals from a robot hand were streamed directly into a human fingertip display and a glove in real time.
Most teleoperation has no sense of touch.
That makes delicate manipulation very hard.
High resolution tactile feedback can change this. It also creates better data for training physical AI
It is still early.
Objects were dropped.
Control is not perfect.
But the direction is clear.
Some stats:
• A 22mm haptic fingertip display
• 32 tiny individually controlled actuators
• Tactile sensors in the robot fingers
• Live streaming touch data to the human
If robots are going to handle the real world, touch cannot stay optional.
