Multisensory Continual Learning: Adapting Pretrained Visuomotor Policies to Force
Robot manipulation often relies on sensory feedback beyond vision, particularly in contact-rich settings where force, tactile, or audio signals reveal interaction states that are not directly observable from images. However, these modalities are often hardware- and task-specific, and large-scale multisensory robot datasets remain scarce. As a result, it is impractical to pretrain policies with every sensor they may encounter. We study multisensory continual learning: adapting a pretrained robot policy to new tasks with newly introduced modalities while preserving performance under the original sensor suite. We propose MultiSensory World Model (MuSe), which incorporates limited multisensory data into pretrained vision-only policies through multi-stage fusion, multisensory future prediction, and experience replay over pretraining data. We instantiate MuSe by augmenting a pretrained vision-only policy with force-torque sensing and evaluate it on real-world manipulation tasks. Our experiments show that MuSe performs strongly on contact-rich finetuning tasks while preserving, and in some cases improving, performance on the original pretraining tasks. These results suggest that a modest multisensory dataset can improve general robot capabilities beyond the finetuning distribution.
