Description
LingBot-Touch is a touch foundation model from Robbyant, the embodied AI company of China’s Ant Group. Robbyant released it in November 2026 as part of its LingBot family of robot models. Most robot models focus on vision and language, and only a few use touch. Even then, they usually work with just one type of touch sensor. The model, however, learns a shared sense of touch from many different sensors. As a result, a robot can carry what it learns about touch from one device to another.
Robbyant trained the model on nearly 5,000 hours of touch recordings from gloves and robot hands. LingBot-Touch doesn’t control a robot on its own. Instead, it adds a sense of touch to other models, such as Robbyant’s LingBot-VLA. In tests, dexterous hands from Sharpa and XHand used it for 26 real-world tasks. For example, they unlocked doors with keys, squeezed toothpaste and twisted caps open. Moreover, the model stays small and fast, so it can run in real time. Robbyant has also shared it openly on GitHub and Hugging Face.
