MoSense raises RMB 100 million angel-plus round for robot electronic skin

Shanghai-based MoSense, a startup developing full-body tactile sensing systems for robots, has raised about RMB 100 million in an angel-plus funding round. The company is working on electronic skin and related algorithms designed to help robots sense physical contact.

The round was led by CDH Investments and Oasis Capital, according to a report by Star Market Daily. The report, published in Chinese, identified the deal as an angel-plus round for the Shanghai company.

Other investors in the round included LimX Dynamics, Loongson Venture Capital, CAS Star, Hua Capital and Pudong Venture Capital Group. The participation of robotics and technology-focused investors places MoSense within a broader group of companies working on sensing and embodied intelligence.

MoSense was founded in May 2026 by a team with backgrounds at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. The startup's focus is tactile sensing, which gives robots information about contact and physical interaction.

The company's hardware product, MoSkin, integrates sensing into structural components. Instead of attaching separate sensors to a robot, the approach is intended to embed tactile capability into the robot's body structure and collect contact data across multiple points.

MoTact, the company's software component, processes tactile signals. The system is intended to convert raw contact information into data that a robot can use for perception and control.

MoSense is working with robot manufacturers on deployment, the report said. Such partnerships are meant to move tactile sensing from laboratory demonstrations into practical robot platforms.

The company is also developing MoWorld, a model intended to use tactile feedback to improve robot motion control. MoWorld is designed to connect touch data with movement, allowing robots to adjust actions based on physical contact.

Tactile sensing has become an area of interest in robotics because vision alone cannot provide all the information needed for manipulation and contact-rich tasks. Electronic skin systems aim to fill that gap by providing direct measurements of contact.

For MoSense, the angel-plus round provides capital as it develops hardware, algorithms and deployment relationships. The company has not disclosed a detailed timeline for commercial rollout, but its work spans sensing hardware, signal processing and motion-control models.
