Artificial Multimodal Representation Learning
Exploring Tactile Perception in AI
Recent research has focused on integrating various sensory modalities such as vision, language, audio, and robot behaviors. However, tactile perception, which allows identification of surface textures and materials, has been largely unexplored in multimodal comprehension.
Challenges and Solutions
The lack of tactile datasets with open vocabulary language labels poses a challenge. To address this, researchers have developed a bespoke handheld device to gather synchronized touch-vision data in real-world settings. Additionally, efforts have been made to train large language models for vision language understanding and to compensate for the absence of labeled tactile-language data.
The Touch-Vision-Language (TVL) Dataset
Researchers have introduced an innovative dataset composed of 44,000 paired vision tactile observations, allowing for training of a tactile encoder compatible with visual and textual modalities. This dataset has been used to benchmark multimodal models, showing significant improvements over existing models.
Practical Applications
This work is expected to be helpful for pseudo-label-based learning methods and big generative models that incorporate touch. It also has implications for improving touch digitization and robotic touch applications.
