TacVerse: A Multisensor Dataset and Benchmark for Cross‐Sensor Vision‐Based Tactile Perception
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.TacVerse provides a controlled benchmark of 106 800 tactile images from seven vision‐based tactile sensors across shape classification, grating classification, and force regression. Direct cross‐sensor transfer reveals substantial sensor‐shift degradation, with grating and force perception more affected than shape recognition.
