arXiv:2606.09451v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Humans rely on spatially dense, geometry and force-aware tactile feedback at high temporal resolution for dexterous manipulation. While vision-based tactile sensors enable dense force estimation, they are limited by camera frame rates, motion blur, and data bandwidth. Event-based optical tactile sensors offer an attractive alternative with microsecond temporal resolution and low motion blur, but existing methods are restricted to predicting only net forces. We introduce the first framework for dense 3D force field reconstruction using event-bas
The continuous drive for more dexterous and autonomous robotic manipulation necessitates advances in tactile sensing that overcome limitations of traditional vision-based systems.
Improved tactile feedback for robots is crucial for real-world deployment in unstructured environments, enabling more precise interaction with objects and enhancing robotic intelligence for complex tasks.
This development allows robots to perceive dense 3D force fields with microsecond resolution, overcoming previous limitations in force estimation and opening new possibilities for robotic dexterity.
