Touch2Robot: Robot Touch in the Human Demonstration Loop

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 21, 2026 · UTC

Human demonstrations offer a scalable way to collect manipulation data, but their contacts may be unstable or infeasible when transferred to a robot hand. Collecting demonstrations directly on the target robot avoids this mismatch but substantially increases the cost of data collection. To address this trade-off, we present Touch2Robot, a framework that lets humans collect demonstrations while seeing how the target robot hand would contact the object. We capture human hand motion, tactile-glove measurements, and object motion during human manipulation. These recordings guide object-specific RL
