How TacForeSight Enables Robots to Anticipate Contact for Fine Manipulation

The TacForeSight study introduces a force‑conditioned tactile world model that predicts short‑term contact dynamics, integrates these predictions into a proactive policy, and demonstrates superior real‑time performance on five contact‑rich tasks compared with visual‑only and multimodal baselines.
