At the "2024 China Humanoid Robot Ecological Conference" on April 2, multiple representatives of humanoid robot industry enterprises gathered to give exciting presentations on cutting-edge topics, market trends, and landing directions in the humanoid robot industry. Among them, Xu Jincheng, founder of Parsini Perception Technology, gave a keynote speech on the theme of "Multidimensional Touch Technology Defining the Next Generation of Humanoid Robots".
Parsini sensing technology originates from one of the four fundamental mechanical receptors on the human skin: the Parsini body. Extremely sensitive to vibration and pressure, can detect surface materials. Parsini Perception Technology is a company with cutting-edge tactile core and automation technology, committed to creating robot systems with more intelligent perception, improving human-computer interaction experience, and exploring innovation in emerging fields to bring more advanced and intelligent technological applications to customers and society.
The company's mission is to promote a new generation of commercial humanoid robots with multi-dimensional touch as the core, providing top-notch universal humanoid robots for various scenarios and labor-intensive enterprise customers. As the most important sensory perception of human beings - touch, it almost assumes all the channels of interaction between the human body and the physical world, which also includes all the scenes of basic human labor in daily life. Parsini Perception Technology is committed to breaking through the underlying technology of machine touch, endowing robots with multi-dimensional tactile perception ability that is as sensitive as the human body, enabling robots to quickly adapt to different environments, assist humans in completing various basic or complex tasks in hundreds of millions of positions, and lead the next generation of industry transformation.
The founding members of the company come from the Robotics Laboratory of Waseda University in Japan, which has cutting-edge technology and released the world's first humanoid robot. Continuing its excellent R&D qualifications, the company has industry-leading robot products and solutions, including multi-dimensional tactile sensors PX-6AX, consumer grade tactile sensors PX-3A, tactile dexterous hands DexH5, and humanoid robots Tora. We provide industry-leading robot products and solutions for customers in fields such as intelligent manufacturing, healthcare, industrial production, and consumer electronics.
Tora, a tactile humanoid robot, is the first humanoid robot with multi-dimensional and multi array tactile perception as its core, equipped with advanced motion control and human-machine interaction functions. The PX Core algorithm core carried by Tora enables it to efficiently acquire human production skills using visual and tactile dual-mode information. With the help of imitation learning function, Tora can adapt to different environments and tasks more quickly, and continuously optimize her performance in interaction with humans. Tora adopts a modular design that supports adjustable height and customized development, and can flexibly adapt to various application scenarios.
Parsini tactile dexterous hand: DexH5 is a product that perfectly integrates a multi degree of freedom robot hand with tactile sensors. With hundreds of tactile sensing units and artificial intelligence algorithms, DexH5 can autonomously perform various common operations like a human hand. PXR robot torque joint module: can achieve high-precision force control, torque sensing module uses PX multi-dimensional tactile sensor technology, making the robot more intelligent, flexible, adaptable to various environments, and stable to perform any task. Based on the visual tactile bimodal model control architecture PX Core.
Why research multidimensional tactile sensing technology? The definition of multidimensional tactile sensation: Multidimensional tactile sensation is an important perceptual form of robots. Unlike vision, robots can obtain other properties of objects besides geometric motion and color through multidimensional tactile sensation, including pressure, friction, softness and hardness, texture, weight, and temperature.
The advantages of multi-dimensional touch: The advantages of multi-dimensional touch lie in uniqueness and complementarity, playing a core role in many scenarios; The fusion of touch and vision can provide more reliable and comprehensive perception capabilities, promoting innovation and widespread application of robot technology; The deep integration of multi-dimensional tactile perception technology and robotics technology by Parsini makes robots more intelligent, flexible, and capable of handling complex tasks, bringing more possibilities to social production and life.
The necessity of multi-dimensional tactile technology: It is not easy for robots to adapt to complex and ever-changing life scenarios. Assembling slender products, picking up soft fabrics, lifting fragile glass cups, and even handling boxes of different sizes and weights are all obstacles to robot operations. The sharp weapon for humans to overcome this difficulty is the tactile receptors that cover both hands. Through multi-dimensional array tactile feedback, humans can continuously adjust their posture and force during action, achieving control over various objects and tools. Therefore, tactile sensing ability is the key for robots to enter complex and flexible scenes.
