Audio-tactile interaction paper uses Reachy to classify touch from body sounds

Dec 6, 2025 · Research Publication · Pollen Robotics · Humanoid

  • The study explores recognizing tactile interactions from sounds recorded by microphones mounted on a Pollen Robotics Reachy robot.
  • The authors collect tapping, knocking, rubbing, stroking, scratching, and pressing samples on the robot arms and train a convolutional classifier.
  • The result adds Reachy research context for low-cost tactile interaction sensing without relying only on joint torque or force-torque sensors.

Develops open robotics platforms focused on manipulation, teleoperation, and embodied AI experimentation. The company builds modular systems combining hardware and software to enable accessible development and deployment of interactive robotic applications.
