📝 摘要(中文)
利用光学触觉传感器的视触觉策略在接触丰富的操作中展现出巨大潜力。这些传感器通过内部摄像头监测其弹性胶表面的变形,从而间接推断触觉线索。然而,提取细粒度接触状态仍然是一个开放性挑战。现有方法通常使用原始图像或累积运动场表示触觉线索,但都容易导致感知模糊。为了解决这一问题,本文探索了触觉运动的动态先验,发现瞬时运动与累积运动之间的关联能够明确区分细粒度接触状态。基于此,我们提出了一种运动感知的触觉表示方法,并结合Mixture-of-Transformers架构,提出了一种统一的多模态视触觉策略,能够捕捉跨模态互补性,同时保持模态特性。

📄 摘要(原文)
Visuo-Tactile policies leveraging optical tactile sensors have shown great promise in contact-rich manipulation. These sensors achieve high spatial resolution and multi-dimensional force sensing by utilizing an internal camera to monitor the deformation of their elastic gel surface, thereby indirectly inferring tactile cues. Despite their advantages, extracting fine-grained contact states necessary for contact-rich manipulation remains an open challenge. Existing methods typically use either raw images or cumulative motion fields to represent tactile cues. However, both are prone to perception ambiguity. Raw tactile images mainly capture appearance changes, while cumulative motion fields only reflect the aggregate gel deformation. Consequently, distinct fine-grained contact states can exhibit highly similar patterns, making it difficult to explicitly distinguish subtle contact variations. To address this issue, we explore the dynamic priors of tactile motion and discover that the correlation between transient and cumulative motion can explicitly distinguish fine-grained contact states. Based on this insight, we propose a motion-aware tactile representation to facilitate contact-rich manipulation. Beyond tactile representation, effective fusion of tactile and visual modalities is also critical. Most existing fusion methods either directly concatenate features from each modality or train modality-specific networks separately and fuse their outputs. However, these strategies struggle to simultaneously model cross-modal interactions and preserve modality-specific characteristics. In this work, we take advantage of the Mixture-of-Transformers architecture and propose a unified modality-aware visuo-tactile policy that captures cross-modal complementarity while maintaining modality-specific properties.
