Ant Group's Robbyant open-sources LingBot-Touch, a tactile model for robot hands

Robbyant, the embodied AI unit of Ant Group, has released LingBot-Touch, a foundation model pre-trained on nearly 5,000 hours of tactile data that turns signals from different touch sensor types into one shared representation for robot control models. In 26 real-world tests on two dexterous hands it raised average task success by about 14 to 26 percentage points; code and weights are on GitHub and Hugging Face.
