Yimu Tech develops visuotactile sensors and an end-to-end tactile perception stack that converts microscopic surface deformations into multidimensional data—pressure, shear force, and contact geometry—to enable dexterous robotic manipulation. Its sensors are mass-producible and have been reduced to under 3 millimeters thickness, with resolution exceeding 10,000 points, milligram-level force precision, 0.005N force resolution, and an industrial lifespan of over one million presses; the company reports that 90% of core tactile metrics match human-level performance. Yimu Tech has built a three-layer architecture: tactile data acquisition and dataset construction, a proprietary Tactile Transformer Encoder that universalizes signals, and multimodal embodied AI large models that fuse tactile, visual, and linguistic inputs. Commercial deployments span humanoid robotics, automotive, data acquisition, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. The company is partnering with institutions such as Stanford on the TouchNet project and plans to release more real-world tactile data by the end of 2026 to support research and industry development. The recent Series E provides capital to accelerate R&D, chip and algorithm development, and mass-production capabilities.
