Value proposition
Pioneering 6D Hall-array tactile sensing technology enabling robots with human-like touch perception; full-stack embodied AI infrastructure from sensors → data → models → robot bodies; world's largest embodied AI data factory producing ~200M high-quality omni-modal data samples/year
Products and solutions
PX-6AX-GEN3 (3rd gen high-precision multi-dimensional tactile sensor); PX-3AX (consumer-grade tactile sensor); DexH13 (4-finger dexterous hand with 1,140 sensing units); DexH5 (multi-dimensional tactile dexterous hand); GMH18 (multi-dimensional tactile dexterous hand); TORA-ONE (multi-dimensional tactile humanoid robot, 53 DOF, height 146-186cm); TORA-DOUBLE ONE (lightweight multi-dimensional tactile humanoid robot); OmniVTLA (full-modal embodied AI large model); HyperCosmos (full-modal world model)
Unique value
Only company globally with vertically integrated tactile sensing stack (sensors → dexterous hands → humanoid robots → data factory → VLA foundation models), enabling robots to perceive, learn from, and interact with the physical world through touch.
Target customer
Industrial manufacturers (3C electronics, automotive assembly lines); logistics/warehousing; healthcare/rehabilitation; commercial service robots; research institutions developing embodied AI
Industries served
3C Electronics; Automotive Manufacturing; Logistics & Warehousing; Healthcare & Rehabilitation; Commercial Services; Industrial Manufacturing
Technology advantage
6D Hall-array tactile sensing technology (15 perception dimensions); ITPU (Intelligent Tactile Processing Unit) heterogeneous multi-core architecture; HAPTA hardware-software architecture; OmniVTLA full-modal large model; HyperCosmos world model; human-centric data collection methodology (PMEC equipment); Super EID Factory producing ~200M data samples/year; 53-DOF humanoid robot with adjustable height; 1,140 sensing units in DexH13 dexterous hand
How they differentiate
Proprietary 6D Hall-array tactile sensing technology (15 sensing dimensions including 6-axis force, texture, elasticity); human-centric data collection methodology (not robot-dependent, ensuring data reusability across robot generations); full-stack approach from sensor hardware to foundation models; world's largest embodied AI data factory (12,000 sqm, 150+ collection units); only Chinese company achieving domestic replacement of tactile sensors (formerly a "bottleneck" technology)
Main competitors
