Facet-0: A Robotic Foundation Model for Contact-Rich Precise Manipulation

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 1, 2026 · UTC

Real-world robotic assembly at sub-millimeter tolerances demands spatial precision, compliant interaction, and robustness to contact failures. We present Facet-0, a robotic foundation model that predicts and values the contact consequences of its actions. Facet-0 unifies multimodal representation learning and reinforcement learning (RL) post-training around a joint action-wrench proposal: a causal wrench history is aligned with vision-language semantics and kinematic state, and flow matching generates each action chunk together with the future wrist-wrench profile it is expected to induce.
