More with LESS – Local Scene Representations for Tactile Imaging

Zohar Rimon, Elisei Shafer, Tal Tepper, Daniel Kozin, Alon Malka, Roy Holland +1

RSS 2026poster

Tactile imaging seeks to reconstruct the internal structure of soft objects through touch sensing, with applications in medical diagnosis and robotic manipulation. Recent self-supervised learning approaches have shown promising results, but rely on global, unstructured representations and robot-cont…

Toward Artificial Palpation: Representation Learning of Touch on Soft Bodies

Zohar Rimon, Elisei Shafer, Tal Tepper, Efrat Shimron, Aviv Tamar

NeurIPS 2025poster

Palpation, the use of touch in medical examination, is almost exclusively performed by humans. We investigate a proof of concept for an artificial palpation method based on self-supervised learning. Our key idea is that an encoder-decoder framework can learn a **representation** from a sequence of t…
