/PRNewswire/ –Daimon Robotics, a company specializing in physical AI and focused on tactile intelligence, presents its capacités d’IA physique « full-stack » during theGOING 2026 in Pittsburgh. Under the theme “from touch to intelligence”the company presents its touch infrastructure and its latest advances in precision robotic manipulation.
Establishing a Touch Intelligence Infrastructure for Physical AI
Daimon Robotics Booth
As robots take on increasingly complex tasks in the physical world, perception must go beyond simply observing objects and their surroundings. The contact, force, sliding and response of materials often determine the success of an action – yet these physical properties remain difficult to grasp through vision alone. Touch sensing provides the layer of physical information that has been missing, allowing robots to better directly understand how they interact with the world around them.
Daimon is developing an infrastructure that connects tactile perception, physical interaction data, and models of the world. During IROS, the company presented three layers of this architecture:
- Perception – Série DM-Tac :vision-based touch sensors providing multi-dimensional, high-resolution, high-frequency perception, covering more than twelve touch modalities, using more than 110,000 sensing units. Live demonstrations at IROS – including underwater sensing, strength testing and empty package detection – highlight the sensors’ highly accurate perception and stability in harsh conditions.
- Data – The Data-Nexus acquisition systemintegrates data acquisition devices, networks, processing pipelines, and performance testing into a unified data production workflow, continuously generating high-quality physical interaction data for model training.
- World Model – Daimon-TWM : intelligence based on physical interaction data, enabling physical cognition, predictive decision making and real-time control for skillful handling.
Daimon-TWM Holds First In-Person Public Demonstration Since Launch
IROS 2026 marks the first public in-person demonstration of Daimon-TWM since its launch in August. The model is illustrated through two real-time autonomous manipulation tasks:
- Putting on a friendship bracelet:Whether it’s picking up tiny engraved beads, aligning their little openings, or stringing them onto soft wire, this task requires skill. small-scale precision, mastery of deformable materials and an ability to adapt to changing contact conditions. Daimon-TWM continually adapts its actions in response to subtle physical interactions, rather than following a predefined sequence of movements.
- Thermal transfer printing on canvas bag:The robot autonomously takes care of applying the stickers, removing the protective film, hot stamping, curing and final installation. This long-term task involves a precise positioning, delicate takeoff, changes in contact conditions and operations requiring high force sensitivityall during several successive steps. Daimon-TWM allows the robot to anticipate the consequences of each action and adapt its next movement according to the physical state of the task.
In both tasks, Daimon-TWM uses tactile feedback to stay tuned to the physical state of the task, adapting its actions from one step to the next.
Anchoring physical AI in the real world
Daimon is developing a tactile intelligence infrastructure aimed at enabling robots to learn, adapt and perform increasingly skillful manipulations in the physical world, thereby evolving robotics from simple visual perception to tactile perception, and from understanding the world to interacting with it.
About Daimon Robotics
Daimon Robotics is focused on building a closed-loop physical AI ecosystem that seamlessly integrates touch sensing, data, and models. Thanks to our revolutionary touch technology, we equip robots with true physical intelligence.
