ArXi:2605.14571v1 Announce Type: cross Observing touch on another's body can elicit corresponding tactile sensations in the observer, a phenomenon termed mirror touch that s empathy and social perception. This visuo-tactile resonance is thought to rely on structural correspondence between visual and somatosensory cortices, yet robotic systems lack computational frameworks that instantiate this principle. Here we nstrate that cortical correspondence can be operationalized to endow robots with mirror touch. We.
