arXiv:2608.28664v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite the success of foundation models in language and vision, their expansion into embodied AI is bottlenecked by a lack of generalized touch sensing. This limitation is especially relevant to consumer electronics, where smartphones, wearables, VR controllers, home robots, and health monitoring devices require safe and adaptive physical interaction.
