- Chris Paxton — X RoboticsTouch is at the frontier of robotics
A demonstration at IROS 2026 by Daimon Robotics shows a robot threading beads onto a flexible string, highlighting the challenges of tactile interaction. The Daim, TWM model uses touch to predict and adjust actions, suggesting that robots may need to learn both visual and tactile properties of objects for effective manipulation.
