PRISM addresses a critical gap in robotic learning by providing a large-scale dataset specifically designed for contact-rich industrial tasks, moving beyond standard pick-and-place benchmarks to include force/torque and tactile regulation. This resource enables the training of models capable of handling high-precision assembly operations with multimodal feedback essential for real-world manufacturing environments.
PRISM: Precision and contact-rich Real-world Industrial Skill dataset with Multimodal sensing
arXiv:2608.17962v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent progress in robotic learning has been fueled by large-scale datasets collected in everyday environments. However, most existing datasets emphasize short-horizon, low-contact tasks such as pick-and-place, and therefore do not capture the precision control, force/torque or tactile regulation, and multimodal feedback required for industrial assembly. To address this gap, we introduce PRISM, a large-scale multimodal dataset for contact-rich industrial operations. The dataset spans more than 25 manipulation tasks (e.g., electronic components plug/unplug, conveyor-based sorting) and covers diverse mechanical constraints. PRISM includes more than 5,000 trajectories totaling 45 hours of teleoperated demonstrations, recorded using synchronized multi-view RGB-D, force/torque, tactile, and robot-state measurements. In contrast to datasets collected in household or laboratory settings, PRISM provides a realistic benchmark for multimodal perception and control under high-precision industrial constraints, and serves as a foundation for contact-rich, generalizable manipulation in real-world manufacturing environments. The dataset is open-sourced at: https://tengbo-yu.github.io/PRISM/
