Recently, Singularity Intelligent Control (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. secured nearly 100 million RMB in angel round financing, led by Yinfeng Capital, with participation from Zhangjiang Ke Investment, Pudong Venture Capital, Fourier, and two listed companies. The company is innovating six-dimensional force sensors using an optical approach, reducing the price from tens of thousands to thousands of RMB.
This funding round is notable for its diverse investor structure, including market-oriented VCs, state-owned enterprises, equipment manufacturers, and listed companies. This combination signals a market shift, positioning six-dimensional force sensors, previously categorized as 'precision instruments,' as standard components for embodied intelligence applications.
Looking ahead, Singularity Intelligent Control aims to leverage this funding for market promotion and product iteration, establishing a foundation for mass production. The optical sensors could significantly reduce costs for humanoid robots, potentially changing the decision-making process for manufacturers regarding the integration of force sensing technology into their designs. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
Editor's Note
