ForceFlow: Force-Aware Robot Manipulation via Flow Matching
ForceFlow, a recently introduced framework, tackles manipulation tasks that involve frequent contact by incorporating force and torque sensing into imitation learning strategies. This method employs an asymmetric multimodal fusion architecture, utilizing force as a comprehensive regulatory signal, along with a joint prediction model to improve the comprehension of both immediate force and past data. As a result, it facilitates strong generalization across various multimodal observations.
