Chinese Robotics Company PaXini Shines at iREX 2025, Demonstrating Top-Tier Global Embodied Intelligence Strength

TOKYO, Dec. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The International Robot Exhibition (iREX 2025), a leading global robotics event, runs from December 3rd to 6th in Tokyo, Japan. PaXini Tech, a global pioneer in tactile sensing and embodied intelligence, made a strong debut at iREX 2025, presenting its comprehensive embodied-AI product matrix. The company received widespread recognition from international experts, media, and attendees.

As PaXini’s first independent showcase overseas, its iREX appearance marks a major milestone in expanding its global presence. Also, PaXini launched official flagship stores on AliExpress and Amazon, opening a new chapter in its worldwide growth.

Tactile sensing is a foundational technology enabling robots to interact reliably with the physical world. At iREX 2025, PaXini unveiled its third-generation tactile sensor, the PX-6AX-GEN3. The GEN3 series provides industry-leading physical perception for embodied-AI agents, achieving high-precision acquisition of multilayer nested magnetic-field arrays at sampling rates of several million times per second. It outputs 15 types of tactile information at 1000 Hz, with 0.01 N micro-force resolution and <0.5% FS repeatability across the full measurement range.

PaXini also introduced the world’s first Hall-effect-based 6-axis force sensor. Unlike traditional steel-based solutions, PaXini’s design uses advanced polymer materials, delivering significant cost advantages while remaining resistant to aging and creep. This ensures long-term stable and accurate force measurement that closely reflects real-world physical interactions.

PaXini’s dexterous-hand series delivers human-finger-level flexibility and fine manipulation, enabling skillful grasping of objects such as test tubes, spheres, and cubes—demonstrating highly versatile, general-purpose manipulation performance.

With aging populations and rapid advancements in embodied intelligence, robots are moving quickly into everyday environments. Two PaXini robots attracted particular attention at the show.

The multi-dimensional tactile humanoid robot TORA-ONE prepared ice cream continuously for attendees—its first public demonstration in a food-service scenario. This showcased its precise tactile perception and dexterous operation, confirming its potential not only in manufacturing, logistics, and automotive settings but also in office, home, medical, and retail environments.

The lightweight general-purpose humanoid robot TORA DOUBLE ONE demonstrated stable obstacle-crossing by smoothly navigating steps, highlighting both agility and robustness. Its adaptability to complex indoor and outdoor terrains makes it suitable for demanding applications across manufacturing, commercial, catering, healthcare, and home scenarios.

Behind these demonstrations is PaXini’s sustained investment in omni-modality embodied-intelligence data acquisition. To solve the challenges of fast generalization and real-world deployment, PaXini has built the world’s first omni-modal super embodied intelligence data factory — the Super EID Factory.The facility produces nearly 200 million high-quality omni-modality embodied-intelligence data entries annually through the OmniSharing DB, enabling deeper environmental understanding, autonomous learning, and highly dexterous robotic manipulation.

At iREX 2025, PaXini showcased to global professionals its cutting-edge strengths in mult-idimensional tactile sensing and embodied intelligence. Looking ahead, PaXini will continue working with global partners to advance embodied-intelligence deployment, build a bridge between AI intelligence and the physical world, leading the global physical intelligence revolution.

Guangzhou’s Nansha emerges as cultural performance hub in GBA

GUANGZHOU, China, Dec. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from South:

The upcoming Mayday 25th Anniversary Tour in Guangzhou, set for December 5 to 15 at the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) Culture and Sports Center, underscores Nansha’s rapid rise as a premier destination for major cultural events. This marks the district’s seventh large-scale music event this year, solidifying its ambition to become the GBA’s “city of performances.”

The momentum began with the Guangzhou Strawberry Music Festival in December 2024. Since then, Nansha has hosted a packed calendar, including the “Head In The Clouds” music and arts festival, The Chainsmokers concert, the AniSonic holographic concert, a Hong Kong-style golden hits concert for the Qixi Festival, and both the Guangzhou Taihai and Super Strawberry music festivals. The lineups have featured international stars, such as Karen Mok, Janice Vidal, Miriam Yeung, David Tao, and Wen Zhaolun, alongside virtual singer Luo Tianyi.

Beyond Mayday, December will also welcome the SoNTILLa Sandilla Music Festival and the 2025 Guangzhou stop of the Storm Electronic Music Festival. The latter, returning to Nansha for a second year, captivated audiences with its New Year’s Eve fireworks display.

Cultural vibrancy extends beyond music. The inaugural GBA Lantern Fair this year attracted 710,000 visitors, highlighting Nansha’s broader cultural appeal.

A cornerstone of this development is the newly operational GBA Culture and Sports Center. After debuting with three sporting events in August, it now prepares for its first major performance undertaking—the six Mayday concerts. This world-class facility, featuring a 60,000-seat stadium, a 20,000-seat arena, and a 4,000-seat aquatics center, is poised to become a shared space for high-level competitions and public cultural life in the region.

As a national strategic area, Nansha aims for higher-level openness. Leveraging professional venues like the center and the expertise of operators such as China Resources Culture and Sports, the district encourages more international and domestic events, participating in the city’s dynamic development opportunities.

Behind each major concert lies a powerful emotional connection that sparks the entire cultural tourism consumption chain and boosts urban visibility. Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025, Nansha, with its mantra “a young city serving young people,” is fast-tracking its identity as a high-quality development model. By rapidly hosting large-scale events and attracting intercity travelers “following concerts,” this coastal district is confidently striding toward its goal as the GBA’s new performance highland.
