PhantomTac maps target sensor responses to small magnets, then uses a battery-free tag to inject chosen false force readings. In tests, positive normal-force injection made a Dofbot stop grasping early and drop a box, while negative injection damaged it. Offset success exceeded 95% through 8 mm in that setup; shear attacks were not demonstrated on a robot.
