Generalist robot policies benefit from large-scale visual pretraining but often struggle with contact-rich dexterous manipulation, where force, compliance, and incipient slip are hard to observe from images. We present Spark-0, a spatially aligned vision-tactile-language-action (VTLA) model that uses touch in two complementary ways. During pretraining, image-space contact maps derived from tactile gloves, together with features from a frozen 3D geometry teacher, supervise the visual tokens; these objectives are removed at inference. In parallel, a tactile pathway encodes regional force histories and 3D taxel states to condition the action expert. A single checkpoint therefore supports both vision-only and tactile-conditioned deployment. To scale this supervision, we build HumanTouch, a 1,000-hour dataset of full-hand tactile human manipulation, and pretrain Spark-0 on it together with egocentric video, robot data, and simulation. We also release SparkArena, which pairs vision-only simulated tasks with tactile-conditioned real-robot tasks on one dexterous embodiment. Spark-0 achieves the highest mean success rate on both SparkArena tracks and ranks first on all eight aggregate metrics of the Ego Humanoid Manipulation Benchmark. Compared with vision-only pretraining on the same data and compute with touch discarded, retaining the touch of 1,000 hours of HumanTouch raises vision-only success on Ego Humanoid from 52.5% to 71.7%, and success on SparkArena-Real, where touch is also used at deployment, from 44.0% to 52.0%, indicating that touch serves not only as a policy input but also as scalable supervision for dexterous visuomotor pretraining.
