About
About Daimon Robotics
Daimon Robotics develops tactile sensing, dexterous-hand hardware and data tools for embodied manipulation. DM-Tac sensors capture contact, force, texture, hardness and slip information. DM-Hand1 integrates touch into a robot hand, while DataMaster and DataDex support demonstration capture and tactile dataset creation.
The company is building a stack that connects sensing components to robot learning and complete manipulation systems. A RMB100 million-class Series A announced in June 2026 supports further product and manufacturing development. Sensor specifications, hand maturity and dataset capability vary across the product family.
