Facet-0 Enables Robots to See, Insert Precisely, and Recover from Errors in Precise Assembly

The NTU PINE Lab introduces Facet-0, a multimodal robot foundation model that achieves 82% success in five real computer‑assembly tasks with 0.5 mm placement accuracy, reduces human intervention from 47% to 24%, and learns to recover from contact failures using a force‑synchronized dataset and reinforcement‑learning post‑training.
