On June 5, 2026, the event "Technology Synergy · Embark on a New Intelligent Journey – New Product Launch: Flariant Empowers Hyper-Tactile" was successfully held. Wang Xiaoyang, Director of Hyper-Tactile, attended the ceremony and delivered a speech. He interpreted the company’s core technologies, product strengths, commercial layout and ecosystem planning, demonstrating Hyper-Tactile’s resolve to seize opportunities in the tactile sensing track and build an industrial ecosystem together with partners.


Wang Xiaoyang stated that the commercialization of cutting-edge technology requires long-term commitment. In-depth integration of capital and technology, coupled with down-to-earth R&D practices, forms the fundamental foundation for steady corporate growth. As a listed company, Flariant is not only an investor of TacSense Technology, but also the controlling shareholder of Hyper-Tactile. As an equity participant in Hyper-Tactile, TacSense Technology jointly founded Hyper-Tactile with Flariant to focus on the commercial application of flexible sensing technologies. Professor Pan Tingrui serves as Chief Scientist, consolidating the research foundation for trilateral collaborative innovation.

Embodied intelligence is gaining mounting momentum, yet the tactile industry has not ushered in its real breakout year. The sector still faces prevalent pain points including ambiguous demand standards and persistently high product costs. Wang Xiaoyang mentioned that drawing on more than a decade of interdisciplinary technological accumulation, Hyper-Tactile has built a full-value-chain layout covering materials, manufacturing processes, circuits and algorithms. Supported by abundant scenario-based trial-and-error and commercial deployment experience, the company possesses core competitiveness to achieve success as a latecomer.

In terms of core technologies, Hyper-Tactile focuses on piezoresistive and supercapacitive (ionotronic) electronic skin solutions. This technical route balances low cost, easy deployment and large-area flexible sensing capabilities, making it the optimal option to reconcile performance and industrialization. Built upon self-developed core materials, the products deliver ultra-high spatial resolution at millimeter and sub-millimeter levels, enabling detection of subtle gram-level force variations, alongside outstanding anti-interference performance and long-term stability.

Notably, Hyper-Tactile’s self-developed visuo-tactile technology acts as the "gold standard" for internal evaluation, driving continuous iteration of electronic skin products. The Tac-LAB Tactile AI Engine integrated with AI algorithms realizes material identification, motion analysis and event judgment. Combined with scenarios such as smart homes and smart maternal & infant products, secondary model training can be carried out to enable tactile perception to truly understand user intentions. Furthermore, the 4th-generation ionotronic tactile sensing technology features unique full transparency, enabling deep integration with visuo-tactile perception. It greatly cuts hardware and computing costs and opens up new avenues for the coordinated development of multimodal perception.


During the event, Hyper-Tactile announced that it will open its general tactile datasets and supporting SDKs to lower industry R&D barriers. The company aims to cooperate with developers, research institutions and industrial partners to break data silos and build an open, win-win tactile AI ecosystem. Wang Xiaoyang emphasized that technological competition should not be limited to specification comparisons. Comprehensive data models and scenario-oriented solutions constitute the core moat. The enterprise will continuously optimize algorithms to tackle common industry challenges such as data drift of flexible materials and facilitate large-scale popularization of relevant technologies.

For commercial layout, Hyper-Tactile has established a three-pronged development strategy covering consumer electronics, smart vehicles and embodied intelligence. At present, it is an electronic skin solution provider that realizes both millimeter-level tactile technology and annual shipment volume at the ten-million-unit scale. Its products are widely adopted in consumer electronics including smart wearables, portable audio devices and AI entertainment terminals. The company keeps expanding its market riding the trend of the Internet of Things and AI smart toys.

"Going forward, we will transfer the proven reliability and cost advantages matured in consumer electronics to the smart vehicle cockpit track. Together with Flariant, we will integrate upstream and downstream industrial chains to create vehicle cabins with multimodal interaction," said Wang Xiaoyang. For the future embodied intelligence sector, leveraging mass production capacity and data accumulation, the company will carry out in-depth customization with industrial partners to realize the full closed loop of robot perception, cognition and actuation, and seize the high ground of industrial development.

Wang Xiaoyang concluded that Hyper-Tactile has devoted over ten years to the tactile sensing track, always adhering to the vision of "Making Tactile Sensing Accessible to All". Moving forward, the company will continue technological innovation and product iteration, and empower thousands of industries with flexible tactile sensing technology.
