𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: Teaching Humanoid Robots Through Human Touch: Scaling Dexterous AI with Haptic Teleoperation 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: Humans master dexterous manipulation through touch—yet most robots still learn without it. This session explores how haptic and force-feedback teleoperation enables operators to transfer intuition, contact forces, and fine motor skills directly to humanoid robots. Learn how tactile data collection improves imitation learning, accelerates policy development, reduces training time, and unlocks robust real-world manipulation for the next generation of physical AI.
