What PaXini Tech does

PaXini Tech (帕西尼感知科技) is a Shenzhen-based, full-stack embodied perception company founded in 2021 by a team originating from Waseda University's Sugano Laboratory. The company develops and sells Hall-effect multi-dimensional tactile sensors, joint torque and 6D force sensors, multidimensional tactile dexterous hands, and humanoid robots, all built on a proprietary vertically integrated technology stack: the ITPU (Intelligent Tactile Processing Unit) sensing hardware, the HAPTA heterogeneous multi-core array architecture, the OmniVTLA Vision-Tactile-Language-Action embodied AI foundation model, and the HyperCosmos multimodal world model. This stack is trained on a proprietary Human-Centered full-modality dataset sourced from five regional data collection factory clusters across China, with plans to scale to nearly 200 million omni-modality data entries annually and distribute globally via the OmniSharing DB cloud marketplace.

PaXini's product matrix spans entry-level PX-6AX GEN3 tactile sensors (starting at USD 49), PX3Q joint torque sensors, PX6D six-dimensional force sensors, isomorphic PXCap III data collection glove and PXDex III execution end-effector, three generations of dexterous hands (DexH5, DexH13, GMH18), and two humanoid robots (TORA-ONE and TORA-DOUBLE ONE). The company monetizes through direct hardware sales via its own PaXini Official Mall and AliExpress storefront, quote-based B2B enterprise integration with OEMs (notably JD.com, BYD, and Apple Inc.), and emerging data monetization through the OmniSharing DB cloud marketplace. A planned distribution channel through BYD's automotive dealer network for household humanoid robots signals an eventual direct-to-consumer pivot, alongside the completed first cross-border embodied AI data export from its Tianjin facility.

Following its Series A led by JD.com and its March 2026 Series B of over RMB 1 billion (~USD 145 million) at a post-money valuation exceeding RMB 10 billion (~USD 1.4 billion), PaXini is positioned among China's eight major embodied intelligence unicorns. The Series B syndicate included Huangpujiang Capital, Kaita Capital, Xin'an Capital as co-leads, plus Meta, Nvidia, BYD, JD.com, Zhuhai Science and Technology Industry Group, Shanda Capital, Uni-Trend Technology, and Yida Capital. The company is actively exploring a Hong Kong IPO as of June 2026 and is expanding its global footprint through CES 2026, iREX 2025, and Smart Tech Korea 2026 exhibitions, supported by 340+ cumulative patent applications (~200 invention patents) covering its full hardware-to-AI stack.

Core offering

PaXini Tech designs and manufactures proprietary multi-dimensional tactile sensors (ITPU), joint torque and 6D force sensors, multimodal dexterous hands, and full-stack humanoid robots (TORA-ONE and TORA-DOUBLE ONE). Its hardware is closed-loop-trained by the in-house OmniVTLA Vision-Tactile-Language-Action foundation model and HyperCosmos multimodal world model, with training data sourced from a Human-Centered full-modality embodied data factory network spanning five regional Chinese clusters and monetized through the OmniSharing DB cloud store.

Product overview

PaXini Tech (帕西尼感知科技) offers a vertically integrated platform-plus-modules product portfolio for embodied intelligence rather than a single product. The stack centers on the proprietary ITPU (Intelligent Tactile Processing Unit) multidimensional tactile sensing technology implemented via the HAPTA heterogeneous multi-core array hardware-software architecture, from which the company builds a full product matrix: core tactile sensors (PX-6AX-GEN3), six-dimensional force/torque sensors (PX6D), joint torque sensors (PX3Q), isomorphic data collection/execution end-effectors (PXCap III / PXDex III), three generations of multidimensional tactile dexterous hands (DexH5, DexH13, and GMH18), and two humanoid robots (TORA-ONE and TORA-DOUBLE ONE). The hardware layer is closed-loop-trained by the OmniVTLA full-modality embodied AI foundation model (plus the HyperCosmos multimodal world model) on data produced by PaXini's Human-Centered Omni-Modality Data Acquisition System and OmniSharing DB cloud store, yielding a full-stack offering covering sensor components, end-effector hardware, complete humanoid robots, AI software, and training data ecosystems.

Emerging players

• Shadow Robot Company: UK-based pioneer in dexterous robotic hands and tactile sensing for humanoid and teleoperation applications. Comparable to PaXini's DexH series at the dexterous end-effector layer, with overlapping academic and research customer base, though smaller in humanoid platform scope.

Broad incumbents

• Tesla (Optimus): Tesla's Optimus humanoid program represents the largest well-capitalized incumbent pushing into general-purpose humanoid robotics. While not a direct tactile sensing specialist, Tesla's vertical integration ambitions and manufacturing scale make it a significant competitive threat across the humanoid value chain PaXini serves.
