Tactile Embodiment Assembles a Dream Team: Nearly 100 Million in Seed Round
NeoteAI, a startup originating from Fudan University, has secured nearly 100 million yuan in angel funding to focus on tactile embodiment for robots. The company aims to address the limitations of current robots that excel at visual recognition but struggle with fine-grained physical interactions. NeoteAI is developing a comprehensive approach that includes novel vision-tactile sensors, a large-scale data collection platform, and tactile-enhanced embodiment models to enable robots to better understand and manipulate the physical world.
