PHYSIX OBSERVATION
Touch is the critical weak link for embodied intelligence to land fine manipulation, and Linggan Robot sidesteps the traditional geometric reconstruction route with dense force fields, achieving higher information density. Lux has already reached scaled delivery, showing hardware engineering ahead of peers. What capital is betting on is the long-term moat of the data pipeline and tactile intelligence system, not a single sensor.
