Beijing flexible electronic-skin startup making tactile sensing gloves, robot skins, and smart-cockpit touch systems.
Tachin Technology Co., Ltd. is a Beijing-based startup founded in early 2020 that specializes in flexible tactile sensing hardware, sometimes described as electronic skin, for embodied-AI robots, smart vehicles, and consumer products. The company holds proprietary intellectual property covering stretchable flexible-electronics tactile chips and large-scale tactile-perception data models, and states that several of its underlying technologies are industry firsts combining high sensitivity with high flexibility. Tachin has received support from a national key research and development program administered by China's Ministry of Science and Technology, and the company has been recognized as a National High-Tech Enterprise, a Beijing Specialized-and-Sophisticated Small and Medium Enterprise, a Beijing Innovative Small and Medium Enterprise, a Beijing Science-and-Technology Small and Medium Enterprise, and a Zhongguancun High-Tech Enterprise.
The company's product catalogue centers on tactile-sensing hardware for robotic hands and full bodies, including a flexible tactile data-acquisition glove used to capture multimodal touch signals, a finger tactile-sensing system, and a full-body robot tactile-sensing system aimed at humanoid and dexterous-hand applications. Beyond robotics, Tachin extends the same underlying sensing technology into automotive interiors through a smart-cockpit tactile-sensing system, a steering-wheel tactile-sensing system, an anti-pinch tactile-sensing system, and a battery tactile-sensing system, and into everyday consumer products through office-chair, mattress, sports-and-health, plush-toy, and hyper-realistic-robot tactile-sensing systems.
Tachin organizes its business around four target application areas: embodied intelligence, smart vehicles, health and living, and emotional companionship. This spread reflects a strategy of applying one core flexible-tactile-sensing technology platform across robotics component supply, automotive human-machine interaction, wellness monitoring, and companion-robot products rather than serving a single vertical. The company's headquarters is located in the Dongsheng Science Park in Haidian District, Beijing, a district known for its concentration of technology and research institutions, which aligns with Tachin's research-driven origin.
Organizationally, Tachin operates its headquarters in Beijing alongside two wholly owned subsidiaries in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, and it maintains a frontier-technology exploration center in Silicon Valley, United States, to track advanced sensing and robotics research abroad. The company was named Best Employer in the 2025 AUCA Awards. Tachin has not disclosed public funding-round details, headcount, or a stock listing, and the company appears to remain privately held. Prospective partners can reach the company through its published Beijing office telephone line and its corporate email address, and the company maintains bilingual Chinese and English versions of its corporate website describing its product lines and application scenarios in greater detail.
