Deeptech robotics startup Perceptyne raises $3 Mn in seed round

Perceptyne, a deep tech AI-first robotics startup, has raised $3 million in its seed round co-led by Endiya Partners and Yali Capital with participation from Whiteboard Capital and notable angels. 

The proceeds will be used to ramp up product development, customer acquisition, and growth. The firm is working closely with manufacturing giants in automotive and electronics. 

Founded by Raviteja Chivukula, Jagga Raju Nadimpalli, and Mrutyunjaya Nadiminti, Perceptyne’s products are designed to perform tasks demanding human-like dexterity, such as product assembly & packaging. To accomplish this, the startup is building a vertically integrated full-stack robotics platform centered around AI. 

Its flagship products, PR-34D and PR-9D, are dual-arm and single-arm robots with integrated computer vision & AI, multi-modal sensing, and highly articulate end-effectors suited for manufacturing/assembly line applications. 

According to the startup, its integrated approach will help manufacturing companies accelerate robotic automation efforts by dramatically reducing integration time (quarters to weeks) and implementing automation without changes to their assembly lines.
