SUMMARY
- Perceptyne secures $3M seed funding led by Endiya Partners, Yali Capital, and others.
- The firm combines AI, multi-modal sensing, and dexterous actuators to automate complex manufacturing tasks.
- PR-34D and PR-9D robots enable seamless automation without assembly line changes, speeding up integration time.
Deep-tech robotics startup Perceptyne, led by Endiya Partners and Yali Capital, with participation from Whiteboard Capital and prominent angels, has received $3 million in its seed round. The fresh funds will be put toward accelerating product development, client acquisition, and business expansion.
Raviteja Chivukula stated, “AI has been making huge strides in the digital world with more computing being available, complex models being built, and large amounts of data being collected. Perceptyne is building automation systems at this intersection that combine AI models with dexterity, multi-modal sensing, and articulate actuators. We believe that this will revolutionize manufacturing by making many more applications automatable.” The company collaborates closely with major manufacturers in the electronics and automotive industries.
The Jagga Raju Nadimpalli, Raviteja Chivukula, and Mrutyunjaya Nadiminti founded Perceptyne to develop products designed for tasks that require human-like precision, such as assembling and packaging. The company is building a full-stack robotics platform powered by AI, aiming for a vertically integrated solution to achieve this level of dexterity.
The company’s flagship products, the PR-34D and PR-9D, are dual-arm and single-arm robots with highly articulate end-effectors that are ideal for manufacturing and assembly line applications, as well as integrated computer vision and artificial intelligence.
By adopting automation without requiring modifications to assembly lines and drastically cutting integration time from weeks to quarters, the startup claims that its integrated method would help industrial organizations speed up their robotic automation initiatives.
