In Shenzhen's innovation hub of Nanshan District, a team of engineers under 30 at PaXini Tech has redefined robotic capabilities with a sensor-packed artificial hand. The breakthrough device contains 1,140 sensing units per hand – a density enabling detection of force vectors, surface textures, and even humidity levels, mirroring human tactile sensitivity.
Developed through five years of dedicated research since 2020, these fully domestically produced sensors now empower robots to handle delicate sorting tasks in logistics centers and assist surgeons in precision medical procedures. Over 3,000 enterprises across advanced manufacturing and elderly care sectors have adopted the technology this year, with exports to 17 countries recorded since March 2025.
"Our sensors process 15 data dimensions simultaneously – from silk thread tension to fruit ripeness," explained lead developer Zhang Wei, 28, during a factory demonstration. The team's work aligns with China's national robotics strategy aiming to automate 70% of high-risk industrial tasks by 2030.
