Cerebel Robotics — BlogCerebel builds tactile intelligence for robot hands: touch-aware AI that lets robots handle cables, bags and soft goods.https://cerebel.co/The data that can't be scrapedhttps://cerebel.co/blog/the-data-that-cant-be-scraped/https://cerebel.co/blog/the-data-that-cant-be-scraped/Language models learned from the internet. Robots that handle soft things need touch data, and there is no internet of touch. It has to be collected on real floors, one shift at a time.Thu, 19 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMTPerspectivesWhat goes wrong at the rack, and how touch fixes ithttps://cerebel.co/blog/what-goes-wrong-at-the-rack/https://cerebel.co/blog/what-goes-wrong-at-the-rack/AI racks are packed with cables, fiber and coolant lines, and most of the trouble starts at a single connection. Here is what goes wrong, why cameras miss it, and what a sense of touch changes.Tue, 17 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMTApplications1D, 2D, 3D: a field guide to deformable objectshttps://cerebel.co/blog/deformable-objects-field-guide/https://cerebel.co/blog/deformable-objects-field-guide/Cables, bags and foam all bend, but they bend in different ways.
