HIT Featured in Xinhua’s International Report: Flexible E-Skin Technology Gains Global Attention

On July 9, 2025, the English edition of Xinhua News Agency released a feature story highlighting Wuhan huaweike Technology Co., Ltd.(HIT) breakthroughs in flexible electronic skin (e-skin) technology, industrialization, and global expansion. Authored by Xinhua's field reporters, the article focuses on "tactile sensing for intelligent robots," showcasing HIT's advancements in core sensing materials, proprietary manufacturing equipment, roll-to-roll processes, and multi-sector applications.

According to the report, HIT's self-developed e-skin sensors are capable of embedding nearly 100 micro sensing points within a fingertip-sized area, enabling gram-level pressure detection, over one million press-release cycles, and excellent conformability. These sensors are now widely used in humanoid robots, wind turbine blade monitoring, automotive manufacturing, and medical rehabilitation.

The article also mentions that since 2011, HIT has focused on flexible identification devices and roll-based manufacturing platforms. Through sustained investment in roll-to-roll equipment, flexible conductive inks, and mass production, the company has built a fully independent sensor production system. HIT now holds over 100 intellectual property rights and actively contributes to industry standard development.

In interviews, HIT CEO Zhu Xiaohui and Product Director Ding Xiaotian reflected on the company's journey from a "three-no starting point" - no available materials, equipment, or standards - to today's successful productization. They emphasized the critical role of cross-functional technical teams and university-industry collaboration in overcoming technical barriers.

Currently, HIT has established an annual production capacity of 2 million automotive-grade e-skin units and continues to expand the application of flexible intelligent sensing in AI robotics, industrial equipment, and smart devices.
