MoSense, incubated by the HKUST championship team, completes hundred-million-yuan Angel+ funding round and launches MoSkin full-body electronic skin
MoSense announced on October 26 that it has completed a hundred-million-yuan Angel+ funding round, led by CDH Investments and Oasis Capital, with participation from Limx Dynamics, Loongson Venture Capital, and others. Its core product, MoSkin, is a multimodal metamaterial full-body electronic skin based on electromagnetic metastructure mechanics technology. It can cover the hands, limbs, torso, and soles of the feet, simultaneously collecting modalities such as force perception, temperature, slip, vibration, and material, and is accompanied by the development of a world-action tactile prediction model. The funds will be used for full-body tactile product R&D, team expansion, computing power investment, and the construction of a mass-production testing system.

On October 26, MoSense, a company offering full-body multimodal fusion tactile solutions, announced the completion of a hundred-million-yuan angel+ funding round. The round was led by CDH Investments and Oasis Capital, with participation from Limx Dynamics, Loongson Venture Capital, CAS Star, Huashan Capital, Pudong Venture Capital, and a leading domestic embodied AI manufacturer, while Houliang Capital served as the long-term exclusive financial advisor. The funds will be used primarily for full-body tactile product R&D, team expansion, computing power investment, and the construction of a mass-production testing system. MoSense was founded on May 21, 2026, headquartered in Zhangjiang, Shanghai, with an R&D center in Qianhai, Shenzhen. The company was incubated by the championship team of a robotics competition at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. MoSense co-founder and CEO Yan Chaoxu holds an interdisciplinary PhD in microelectronics from HKUST and has mass-production experience with multiple microelectronic devices; co-founder and CTO Zhou Hang holds a PhD in robotics from HKUST and previously served as a senior algorithm researcher at Desay SV (Singapore), where he led autonomous driving perception modules and researched world models and embodied algorithms; co-founder and CFO Yang Mujun holds a PhD in advanced materials from HKUST and previously worked at High-Flyer Quant and ByteDance; Chief Scientist Wen Weijia is a Chair Professor at HKUST and Dean of the Function Hub at HKUST (Guangzhou), and a winner of the Second Prize of the National Natural Science Award. In its core business, MoSense targets a structural gap in robot touch: most existing solutions are installed only on the fingertips or finger pads of dexterous hands or grippers and can handle only local fine manipulation, while the back of the hand, arms, torso, and soles are sensing blind spots; traditional approaches such as piezoresistive, capacitive, and vision-based tactile sensing are limited by cost, coverage area, and the number of modalities, making it difficult to deploy them across large-area continuous curved surfaces. MoSense's judgment goes further: world models can train policies in simulation but degrade once deployed on real machines, and one important reason is that real machines lack complete full-body tactile feedback, so physical interaction states cannot be truly mapped. Therefore, what MoSense aims to solve is the tactile link in the Sim-to-Real gap. Specifically, MoSense's core product is MoSkin, a multimodal metamaterial full-body electronic skin based on electromagnetic metastructure mechanics technology. Its applications can cover the hands, limbs, torso, and soles, transforming the robot's rigid body boundary into continuous six-dimensional force field perception while simultaneously collecting multiple modalities such as force, temperature, slip, vibration, and material. Beyond hardware, MoSense is also developing multimodal fusion algorithms in parallel, launching a world-action tactile prediction model based on a multimodal latent space fusion gating mechanism, using high-frequency, multi-dimensional tactile feedback to correct low-frequency decisions and full-body touch to supplement physical priors. Currently, MoSense's MoSkin tactile modules have undergone mass-production-level optimization and support a variety of flexible skin integration schemes, while also extending into "embodied engineering," applying adaptive airbag modules and flexible sensing to smart baby products, medical devices, home furnishings, and automotive-grade solutions. Previously, MoSense won the gold award in the Shanghai division of the HKUST One Million Dollar Entrepreneurship Competition, and in August 2026 it established a Shenzhen subsidiary to advance operations in South China. However, MoSense has not yet disclosed revenue, customer lists, or orders, and public information indicates it is still in the stage of building a mass-production testing system.
