About
About TORA-ONE
TORA-ONE is PaXini's wheeled tactile humanoid for manipulation in industrial, logistics and service environments. Its folding torso changes working height between 1.46 and 1.86 metres, while laser-SLAM navigation moves the platform between task locations. Two articulated arms carry four-finger hands that combine visual sensing with multidimensional tactile feedback.
The robot has 21 body degrees of freedom and 16 in each hand, including active and passive finger movement. Five RGB cameras and two depth cameras provide object and environmental information. Its VTLA model connects visual and tactile perception with handling, including object-pose estimation and grasping. PaXini rates each arm for a five-kilogram horizontal load including the hand. The platform is commercially offered for configurable applications, with tactile interaction and mobile manipulation defining its operating design.
