Author丨Ou Xue Editor丨Yuan Silai Hard Krypton learned that the space intelligence company "Dayan Technology" recently completed tens of millions of yuan in angel round financing, led by Songhe Capital, with the participation of state-owned institutions such as Zhejiang Provincial Financial Holdings and Guangzhou Panyu Innovation Fund. The funds will be mainly used for the research and development of large tactile models, the construction of robot data production lines and team expansion. "Dayan Technology" was established in Tongxiang, Zhejiang in May 2025. It is a spatial intelligence company focusing on 4D world reconstruction, world model and controllable diffusion model technology. Founder and CEO Yang Lin has a PhD in computer science from the National University of Singapore. He has been deeply involved in autonomous driving algorithms for 7-8 years in Sagitar, Coretech, BYD, Suzhou Bosch and other companies. In addition, the company's core technology originates from more than 20 years of accumulation of digital twins and tactile interaction by El-Sadiq's team, chief scientist, academician of the United Nations Academy of Sciences, and academician of the Canadian Academy of Engineering. Yang Lin told Hard Krypton that he observed that the data market demand was previously dominated by automobile synthetic data, but starting in 2025, robot data orders increased sharply. "Car data has not increased, and has even fallen a bit. As the competition for robots becomes more and more fierce, everyone is starting to focus on robot brains, and the bottleneck of the brain is data." Yang Lin said. At present, "Dayan Technology" has formed three product lines: First, synthetic data business: mainly synthetic data, combined with "extracted" data collection from a first-person perspective, to serve autonomous driving and robot training. The cost advantage is quite prominent - traditional manual annotation of one frame may cost more than ten yuan, while Dayan's synthetic data only costs a few cents, with a gross profit margin of over 60%. The second is tactile data acquisition equipment: the company has independently developed the country's first tactile gauntlet with force-touch interaction "Shadow Gauntlet" and a head-mounted device. It has 29 array units, 1015 tactile contacts, and a maximum response frequency of 300Hz. It can collect human hand posture and tactile feedback at the same time. Head-mounted device (Source/Enterprise) The third is the haptic large model: This is the company’s ultimate goal and is expected to be released in the second half of this year. The model takes multi-modal input and adds
