PaXini TORA-ONE

A humanoid robot from tactile-sensor maker PaXini, built to showcase dense, multi-axis touch sensing.

TORA-ONE is a humanoid robot from PaXini Tech, a tactile-sensor company; its second generation was unveiled at the World Robot Conference in August 2024. According to launch reports, the robot body has 47 degrees of freedom, paired with a 26-DOF biomimetic dexterous hand, and its height adjusts from 1.46 to 1.86 m. Its standout feature is that its two hands integrate nearly 2,000 of PaXini's own ITPU multi-axis tactile sensing units, which measure pressure and fine deformation across the contact surface, with a claimed measurement precision of 0.01 N. This design targets a common weakness of vision-only robots — they can see but can't feel — for tasks like twisting open a bottle cap or squeezing something soft, where the robot needs to know how much force it's applying and whether it's slipping. PaXini also uses this tactile data to train its own visuo-tactile multimodal models.

ExampleIn demos, TORA-ONE uses its tactile-equipped fingers to grip fragile or soft objects, adjusting grip force in real time based on tactile feedback.
