/PRNewswire/ –Daimon Robotics, a physical AI company specializing in tactile intelligence, is presenting at the GOING 2026 in Pittsburgh his Full-stack solutions for physical AI. Under the motto „From Touch to Intelligence” The company will showcase its tactile intelligence infrastructure and the latest advances in skillful robotic manipulation.
Building an infrastructure for tactile intelligence in the field of physical AI
Daimon Robotics Booth
As robots take on increasingly complex tasks in the physical world, perception must go beyond simply seeing objects and their surroundings. Touch, force, slip and material reaction often determine whether an action is successful – but these physical properties are difficult to capture through visual perception alone. Tactile sensing provides the missing layer of physical information and allows robots to more directly understand their interaction with the world.
Daimon is building an infrastructure that tactile perception, physical interaction data and world models. At IROS, the company demonstrated three levels of this stack:
- Perception — DM-Tac Series: Image-based tactile sensors that deliver multi-dimensional, high-resolution, high-frequency perception across more than twelve tactile modalities with more than 110,000 sensor units. Live demonstrations at IROS – including underwater sensing, durability testing and empty packaging detection – illustrate the sensors’ fine-grained perception and stability under demanding conditions.
- Data – The Data Nexus Acquisition System integrates data acquisition devices, network functions, processing pipelines and evaluation benchmarks into a unified data production workflow and continuously generates high-quality physical interaction data for model training.
- Weltmodell – Daimon-TWM anchors intelligence in physical interaction data and enables physical cognition, predictive decision making and real-time control for clever manipulation.
Daimon-TWM presents itself in a live public demonstration for the first time since its launch
IROS 2026 marks the first live public demonstration of Daimon-TWM since its launch in August. The model is demonstrated live using two autonomous manipulation tasks:
- Making a friendship bracelet: From picking up tiny engraved beads to aligning their small openings to threading them onto a flexible cord the task of precision on the smallest scale, dealing with deformable material and adapting to changing contact conditions. Daimon-TWM continually adjusts its actions based on subtle physical interactions rather than following a set sequence of movements.
- Hot transfer printing on a canvas tote bag: The robot autonomously handles sticker application, protective film removal, hot stamping, curing and final placement. This task requires a long time horizon precise placement, careful removal, changing contact conditions and force-sensitive processes over multiple consecutive steps.Daimon-TWM allows the robot to anticipate the consequences of each action and adjust its next step based on the physical state of the task.
In both tasks, Daimon-TWM uses tactile feedback to respond to the physical state of the task and adjust its actions from one step to the next.
Anchoring physical AI in the real world
Daimon is building a tactile intelligence infrastructure to enable robots to learn, adapt, and perform increasingly skilled manipulations in the physical world – taking robotics from seeing to feeling and from understanding the world to interacting with it.
