FlowTouch: View-Invariant Visuo-Tactile Prediction

FlowTouch: View-Invariant Visuo-Tactile Prediction

Summary

This paper introduces FlowTouch, a novel model for view-invariant visuo-tactile prediction that leverages an object's local 3D mesh to encode rich information while abstracting away scene-dependent details. By integrating scene reconstruction and Flow Matching-based models for image generation, FlowTouch bridges the sim-to-real gap and generalizes to new sensor instances. The resulting tactile images can be used for downstream grasp stability prediction. Code, datasets, and videos are available at https://flowtouch.github.io/.

Editorial context

The authors present FlowTouch, a model that uses local 3D mesh encoding and flow matching to predict view-invariant tactile patterns from visual input, demonstrating generalization across sensor instances and downstream grasp stability prediction.
