The next frontier in automation lies in giving robots a human-like sense of touch. While vision allows robots to see, it is touch that enables true dexterity and intelligent interaction with the physical world. Daimon Robotics Technology Co., Ltd. stands at this convergence, developing advanced humanoid robots and dexterous manipulation humanoid robots for manufacturing. By creating high-resolution multimodal tactile sensing systems and sophisticated hand hardware, Daimon is making robots more capable, safe, and adaptable. Our work in embodied artificial intelligence, specifically through our Vision-Tactile-Language-Action (VTLA) models, is transforming how robots learn and perform complex tasks, bringing a new level of intelligence to the factory floor.
The Critical Role of Touch in Robotic Dexterity
Vision alone is not enough for precise manipulation. A robot might see a component, but without touch, it cannot gauge the correct grip force or sense if an object is slipping. Daimon’s core innovation is its high-resolution multimodal tactile sensing systems. These sensors act as an artificial skin for robots, providing rich data about contact pressure, vibration, and temperature. This tactile feedback is crucial for handling fragile items, assembling parts with tight tolerances, and manipulating objects of varying shapes and sizes. It allows a robot to “feel” its work, ensuring actions are both precise and gentle. This technology moves robots beyond simple, repetitive pick-and-place tasks and into the realm of true dexterity.
From Sensation to Action: The VTLA Model
Sensing is the first step; intelligent action is the goal. Daimon deeply integrates AI with robotics to build what we call Vision-Tactile-Language-Action (VTLA) manipulation models. This is a form of embodied artificial intelligence where the robot’s AI brain is connected to its physical body. The system fuses what the robot sees (Vision) with what it feels (Tactile). It then uses natural language (Language) for high-level task instruction and planning, ultimately leading to precise physical movement (Action). For example, a robot can be instructed to “assemble this gear mechanism.” The VTLA model allows it to see the gears, feel the subtle alignment with its tactile fingertips, and adjust its grip in real-time to successfully complete the assembly. This closed-loop decision-making is key to autonomous and adaptable robotic systems.
Real-World Applications in Modern Manufacturing
Daimon’s technology has direct, impactful applications in industrial settings. Our solutions are designed to tackle real challenges. In intelligent manufacturing, our tactile sensors provide real-time feedback during delicate operations like plug-and-play assembly and handling sensitive electronic components. This ensures zero damage and high precision. For Intelligent Logistics, the combination of our dexterous hands and tactile feedback enables robots to grasp a vast range of objects—from fragile packages to irregularly shaped parts—with guaranteed safety and stability. This increases agility and allows automation of previously manual, complex handling tasks, directly boosting efficiency and reducing operational costs.
Conclusion
The future of manufacturing is intelligent, flexible, and automated. Daimon is driving this future by equipping robots with the critical sense of touch and the intelligence to use it effectively. Our focus on embodied AI and the development of sophisticated hardware like dexterous hands and tactile sensors is solving fundamental problems in robotics. By bridging the gap between sensation and action, we are enabling a new generation of humanoid robots and automation solutions that can perceive, understand, and manipulate their environment with unprecedented accuracy and skill, truly transforming the modern workplace.
