Open-loop Visuo-Tactile Generation

We present both the manipulation videos and the dual-finger tactile signals generated by our visuo-tactile world model, demonstrating a high degree of consistency with the ground truth.

Case Study and Qualitative Results

We visualize the visual input, predicted tactile signals, future contact states, and vision-tactile fusion weights during closed-loop inference. When the vase is disturbed, the policy re-predicts contact-related signals and adjusts its action accordingly. When tactile prediction degrades, the policy gradually fails to generate reasonable actions.

We further show more real-world examples with predicted contact states and fusion weights. The results show that the policy adaptively balances vision and tactile during execution. Even with an unseen knife, it still predicts future contact states accurately and maintains effective visuo-tactile fusion.
