Daimon Robotics has announced the completion of a strategic funding round worth several hundred million yuan, with Ant Group leading the investment and existing shareholders increasing their stakes. The announcement, cited by PANews from a report by PEdaily, comes just two months after the company closed a Series A round worth 100 million yuan. With Ant Group joining in this latest round, Daimon Robotics said its backers now include a group of major industrial investors such as China Merchants Venture Capital, Lenovo Capital, Inovance Industry Investment, China Mobile, and China Telecom. The company also recently introduced what it described as the world’s first tactile-anchored world model, Daimon-TWM. According to the company, the model uses native tactile input across understanding, reasoning, prediction, and verification to build a tactile neural system that links fingertip sensing, brain-like reasoning, and motion control. Daimon Robotics added that, supported by its large-scale tactile sensing devices and collection system, it has built Daimon-Infinity, which it described as the world’s largest multimodal physical-world dataset containing tactile data.

Daimon Robotics said on Aug. 11 that it has completed a strategic funding round worth several hundred million yuan, with Ant Group leading the deal and existing shareholders investing more, according to a PANews report citing PEdaily.

The company completed a 100 million yuan Series A round two months ago. With Ant Group joining this latest financing, Daimon Robotics said its investor base now includes China Merchants Venture Capital, Lenovo Capital, Inovance Industry Investment, China Mobile, and China Telecom, alongside other major industrial capital firms.

Daimon-TWM introduced recently

Daimon Robotics said it recently launched Daimon-TWM, which it described as the world’s first tactile-anchored world model. The company said the system uses native tactile input across understanding, reasoning, prediction, and verification, building what it called a tactile neural system that runs from fingertip perception to brain-like reasoning and back to motion control. It said this is meant to push embodied intelligence from simply seeing the world to understanding and interacting with it.

Daimon-Infinity dataset

The company also said that, based on a large-scale rollout of tactile sensing devices and its data collection system, it has built Daimon-Infinity, which it described as the world’s largest multimodal physical-world dataset containing tactile data.
