From the Hugging Face model README
Sparsh-skin is a transformer-based backbone for full hand tactile sensing with the Xela sensor. This model is trained using self-distillation SSL and is specifically adapted for full hand Xela sensing, accounting for hand configuration, etc.
Disclaimer: This model card was written by the Sparsh-skin authors. The Transformer architetcure and DINO objectives have been adapted for full hand tactile SSL purposes.
You can utilize the Sparsh-skin model to extract touch representations for the Xela sensor. You have two options:
Both options enable you to take advantage of the powerful touch representations learned by the Sparsh-skin model.
For detailed instructions on how to load the encoder and integrate it into your downstream task, please refer to our GitHub repository.
