Researchers from Bosch and Carnegie Mellon University have created an AI system called Humanoid Transformer with Touch Dreaming (HTD) to enhance the dexterity of humanoid robots. This system uses reinforcement learning and VR data to enable robots to predict touch and force outcomes, improving their spatial awareness and planning for complex manipulation tasks. In tests, HTD significantly boosted success rates by over 90% across various real-world tasks, with potential applications in household chores, retail, and manufacturing. AI
