摘要:
机器人操作在视觉-语言-动作(VLA)策略的推动下取得了快速进展。然而,视觉-触觉感知对于接触丰富的操作至关重要,例如插入任务仅依靠视觉完成是困难的。同时,在物理世界中获取大规模且可靠的触觉数据仍然成本高且具有挑战性,缺乏统一的评估平台进一步限制了策略学习和系统分析。为了解决这些挑战,我们提出了UniVTAC,一个基于仿真的视觉-触觉数据合成平台,支持三种常用的视觉-触觉传感器,能够可扩展和可控地生成信息丰富的接触交互。基于此平台,我们引入了UniVTAC编码器,该编码器在大规模仿真合成数据上训练,通过设计的监督信号提供以触觉为中心的视觉-触觉表示,用于下游操作任务。此外,我们还提出了UniVTAC基准,包含八个代表性的视觉-触觉操作任务,用于评估触觉驱动的策略。实验结果表明,整合UniVTAC编码器在UniVTAC基准上将平均成功率提高了17.1%,而现实世界中的机器人实验进一步证明了任务成功度提高了25%。我们的网页可在https://univtac.github.io/上访问。
英文摘要:
Robotic manipulation has seen rapid progress with vision-language-action (VLA) policies. However, visuo-tactile perception is critical for contact-rich manipulation, as tasks such as insertion are difficult to complete robustly using vision alone. At the same time, acquiring large-scale and reliable tactile data in the physical world remains costly and challenging, and the lack of a unified evaluation platform further limits policy learning and systematic analysis. To address these challenges, we propose UniVTAC, a simulation-based visuo-tactile data synthesis platform that supports three commonly used visuo-tactile sensors and enables scalable and controllable generation of informative contact interactions. Based on this platform, we introduce the UniVTAC Encoder, a visuo-tactile encoder trained on large-scale simulation-synthesized data with designed supervisory signals, providing tactile-centric visuo-tactile representations for downstream manipulation tasks. In addition, we present the UniVTAC Benchmark, which consists of eight representative visuo-tactile manipulation tasks for evaluating tactile-driven policies. Experimental results show that integrating the UniVTAC Encoder improves average success rates by 17.1% on the UniVTAC Benchmark, while real-world robotic experiments further demonstrate a 25% improvement in task success.
