Microsoft's new Rho-alpha model brings tactile sensing to robotics
1 min read
Microsoft released Rho-alpha, a Vision-Language-Action model that integrates tactile sensing for physical tasks. The model uses a split architecture with a Phi-based VLM backbone and a separate action expert module. Tactile data bypasses the VLM and is not tokenized, enabling faster physical reactions.
