Robotics · Shenzhen, China · Founded 2021

Pacini Perception Technology (PaXini) is a robotics and sensor company specializing in high-precision tactile perception and embodied artificial intelligence for humanoid and mobile robots. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Shenzhen, China, the company designs and develops multi-axis tactile sensors, dexterous hands, and full robotic platforms, including its flagship humanoid robots, TORA-ONE and TORA DOUBLE ONE. The founding team originates from Japan's Waseda University Robotics Laboratory, a pioneering institution in humanoid robot development. Co-founder Xiangru Mark Nie leads the company. PaXini's core technology is its 6D Hall-array tactile sensor, capable of capturing force, torque, and other data with high precision. This technology forms the foundation for its product ecosystem, which includes the PX-series multi-dimensional tactile sensors and the DexH series of robotic hands. These components are integrated into their TORA series of humanoid robots, which are designed for complex manipulation tasks. For instance, the TORA-ONE robot features over 2,000 tactile sensing units and has demonstrated capabilities like making ice cream, showcasing its potential for autonomous task execution. The company's products are aimed at various sectors, including industrial automation, logistics, healthcare, consumer electronics, and service applications. The company's business model revolves around providing a full-stack embodied AI infrastructure, from core sensor components to complete humanoid robot systems. A significant part of its strategy is the creation and sharing of high-quality, multimodal datasets. PaXini has established a large-scale data collection facility and launched OmniSharing DB, a dataset product that includes tactile, visual, audio, and other data modalities to help accelerate the development and generalization of embodied AI agents. The company has secured substantial financial backing, including a Series A round in mid-2025 and strategic investment from entities like BYD, TCL Venture Capital, and SenseTime, indicating strong investor confidence in its technology and strategic direction.
