Daimon Robotics

Daimeng Robot, also known as Daimon Robotics, develops and produces multi-series general-purpose humanoid robot products. Founded in December 2021 and officially commencing operations in August 2023, the company originated from a research team at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. The founders are Professor Wang Yu, the founding dean of the Robotics Institute at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and Dr. Duan Jianghua. The company focuses on innovations in tactile perception and dexterous manipulation, integrating AI with robotics to create solutions for intelligent manufacturing, logistics, laboratory automation, and commercial services.

The company's core technology lies in high-resolution, vision-based tactile sensors and dexterous hand hardware and software. Their product lineup includes the DM-Tac W and DM-Tac F vision-based tactile sensors, the DM-Hand1 visuotactile dexterous hand, the DM-EXton wearable teleoperation system, and the Daimon One manipulation model with multimodal perception. These products enable robots to perceive multimodal tactile information like 3D force, texture, and hardness, allowing them to perform complex tasks such as adaptive gripping, handling fragile items, and precision assembly. The company’s solutions are driven by a Vision-Tactile-Language-Action (VTLA) manipulation model, which allows robots to perform complex tasks in home service and industrial assembly operations.

Daimeng Robot's business model is centered on providing these advanced robotics solutions to various industries. Clients are in sectors such as automotive manufacturing, electronics assembly, logistics, and laboratory automation. The company has received significant financial backing, completing multiple angel funding rounds from investors including Kinzon Capital, Jinding Capital, Zhongguo Capital, and Lenovo Venture Capital. This funding supports the market promotion and mass production of its robots and continued research and development.
