Daimon Robotics

A Shenzhen company, incubated at HKUST, making visuotactile sensors and touch-inclusive embodied datasets.

Daimon Robotics was incubated at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology; its core team began researching visuotactile sensing in 2017 and began formal operations in 2023, headquartered in Bao'an, Shenzhen, with an R&D center in Hong Kong; reported co-founders include HKUST professor Yu Wang. A visuotactile sensor places a small camera behind an elastic surface and photographs how that surface deforms on contact, from which it infers contact shape and force. Its products are the DM-Tac series of sensors (the general-purpose W2, the pointed X, the fingertip F, and the gripper-mounted G), whose first generation launched in April 2025, plus the DM-Flux edge-compute platform and a teleoperation data-collection system. In April 2026, together with several institutions, it released Daimon-Infinity, an all-modality dataset that includes touch, and in June it released a unified evaluation framework.

ExampleThe DM-Tac W2 has a resolution of 384×288 and a 120 Hz sampling rate, and can output contact geometry, 3D force distribution, and six-axis resultant force.
