Enable Tactile Sensing On Your Own Robot.
Hardware setup, tactile sensor integration, model training commands, and a step-by-step reproduction guide.
Hardware stack.
Robot arm
SO10X low-cost robotic arm. The follower arm is extended with tactile sensor streams; the leader arm is used for teleoperation and demo collection.
SO10X on GitHubTactile sensor
FlexiTac sensor mounted on a custom gripper. The driver reads tactile frames at 2,000,000 baud and exposes a 12 x 32 tactile map.
Install PyFlexiTac with pip install "flexitac[examples]", then use its CLI entry points for flashing, stream checks, and visual heatmap verification.
Custom gripper CAD
Modified gripper designed for integrated tactile sensor mounting. The Moving Jaw holds the FlexiTac sensor pad, and the Wrist Roll replaces the stock SO10X wrist to accommodate the new jaw geometry and wiring.
