PaXini Tech 帕西尼感知
A tactile sensing company that sells a hand to carry its sensors. The hand is priced in the research high-end band while the sensor component has collapsed in price.
PaXini's catalog is a sensor catalog with a hand attached. It sells multidimensional tactile units, a five-finger hand, a humanoid platform and a manipulation dataset. The DexH13 GEN2 is best understood as the reference integration for the sensing stack rather than as a standalone competitor to a $2,000 research hand.
That framing explains the pricing. The hand is reported at 98,000 RMB domestically and $19,800 on a US storefront, while a separate PX6AX GEN4 tactile sensor component is reported at 199 RMB. The component got cheap; the calibrated, packaged system did not. The gap is integration, firmware, calibration and support.
The strongest English documentation in this segment
PaXini maintains an English specification page for the DexH13 GEN2, which is rare among Chinese vendors and makes the model citable without translation guesswork: 1,140 ITPU units, 3,420 signal channels, 15 sensing capabilities, 16 total DOF (13 active plus 3 passive), 15 N maximum fingertip force, 5 kg rated payload, EtherCAT or Modbus.
The caveats are on the same page. Force and lifetime figures come from the company's own laboratory and vary by application, and the one-million-cycle service life has no published protocol, sample size or failure criterion. Vendor-stated is not the same as wrong, but it is not comparable to an independently measured figure.
Where it fits
Buy this when the purchase is justified by contact location rather than force magnitude: slip detection, surface classification, insertion tasks with tight clearance. Do not buy it as a cheap five-finger hand, and do not buy it expecting per-joint torque sensing.

What is not verified
- Mass is not published on the English specification page.
- The one-million-cycle lifetime has no test protocol.
- No vendor page has been captured for the 98,000 RMB figure.
Questions
Is PaXini a hand company?
It describes itself around tactile sensing, and the hand is one product in a catalog that includes sensors, a humanoid platform and a dataset. That matters when you compare prices.
Why is the hand expensive if the sensor is 199 RMB?
The sensor is a component. The hand includes integration, calibration, firmware, an 8 MP camera and support, and it is priced in the research high-end band.
