Tactile Sensing Breakthroughs: How GelSight and Optical Skins Give Humanoids a Sense of Touch

In robotics, visual perception has advanced rapidly over the past decade. High-resolution stereo RGB-D cameras, time-of-flight sensors, and multi-modal Vision-Language-Action (VLA) foundation models allow bipedal humanoids to navigate cluttered industrial facilities and locate target items with centimeter accuracy. Yet, the moment a robot’s fingers make physical contact with an object, vision frequently breaks down. When […]
