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

Real-world robotic assembly at sub-millimeter tolerances demands spatial precision, compliant interaction, and robustness to contact failures.

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…
