Pasini Secures 1 Billion CNY Funding, Sets 3.5 Billion CNY Record in Embodied Perception

Funding milestone – Pasini secured an additional 1 billion CNY in a strategic round, raising its cumulative financing to 3.5 billion CNY, the highest amount ever recorded for companies in the global tactile‑perception (embodied perception) field.

Capital matrix: industry giants and state‑level investors

The round was led by a consortium that includes a trillion‑yuan consumer‑electronics and semiconductor conglomerate, BOC International, the national‑level Kunpeng Fund (focused on big data), and HeXin FangCe. Co‑investors such as Dinghui Baifu, Chengdu Jiaozi AI Fund, Jinming Capital, and existing backer Zhilai Capital added further capital. This blend creates a four‑fold ecosystem: national‑level financial backing for strategic endorsement, regional AI funds linking to local industry clusters, market‑oriented institutions providing governance, and a global industry leader opening commercial pathways.

Unique technical roadmap

Pasini insists on a "hard‑but‑right" strategy, building a full‑stack, self‑developed embodied perception product matrix that drives the deployment of general intelligence. By mastering both humanoid robot hardware and algorithms, the company can anticipate the future direction of force‑touch technology and help partners accelerate native embodied deployments. It positions itself not merely as a tactile‑sensor vendor but as a provider of structured, multimodal touch data that fuels Physical AI models.

Physical AI data as the new scaling law

In the past year, Pasini’s self‑designed tactile chips approached consumption of one million units, and its massive multimodal touch datasets have been adopted by leading embodied‑intelligence model firms and major internet giants. The article argues that as visual and language data gains plateau, physical‑interaction data becomes the next fuel for scaling embodied models. Pasini’s data‑factory cluster continuously generates structured touch data, enabling large‑scale embodied models to acquire transferable physical commonsense.

Global commercialization and first‑mover advantage

The company’s technology has converged at the center of the emerging tactile‑perception pathway, attracting the cautious yet decisive investment of a trillion‑yuan consumer‑electronics giant. This signals confidence in the next generation of human‑machine interaction. Pasini’s tactile chip usage and data adoption validate a product‑market fit, while its global patent portfolio, localized operations in North America, Japan/Korea, and Europe, and a growing roster of headline customers embed it deeply in worldwide supply chains.

Conclusion

Pasini aims to become the foundational infrastructure of the Physical AI era, offering a universal physical‑perception system that can be integrated into any intelligent entity. By providing standardized, scalable tactile capabilities and a continuous stream of high‑quality physical data, it seeks to accelerate the broader industry’s transition from digital‑only AI to embodied intelligence that can interact with the physical world.
