Core offering

Yimu Technology develops and sells physical AI infrastructure for embodied intelligence and environmental monitoring. Its core offerings include the SENTRA T0 bionic visual-tactile sensor for humanoid robots, the SENTRA E0 micro-spectroscopy environmental sensor for water quality monitoring, the World Action Model (a tactile-augmented AI model), and DEXTRA dexterous robotic manipulation terminals, integrated under the R-AGI ecosystem platform.

Product overview

Yimu Technology operates as a Physical AI company offering an integrated ecosystem combining three product pillars: (1) Sentra T0 and E0 sensing hardware for visual-tactile and environmental perception; (2) World Action Model for tactile-augmented AI reasoning and physical intelligence; and (3) DEXTRA robotic execution terminals. The unified R-AGI platform bridges perception, reasoning, and execution to enable machines to autonomously operate and continuously evolve in the physical world, serving applications in scientific research, precision engineering, scalable services, and consumer robotics.
