Perceptyne is an Indian robotics startup based in Hyderabad that builds AI-first semi-humanoid robots for industrial manufacturing. Founded in 2021 by Raviteja Chivukula, Mrutyunjaya Nadiminti, and Jagga Raju N, the company develops vertically integrated robotic platforms centered around artificial intelligence, multimodal sensing, and highly articulate end-effectors designed for factory assembly lines. Perceptyne's flagship products are the dual-arm PR-34D and single-arm PR-9D, both designed for precision tasks in automotive and electronics manufacturing.[1][2]
Perceptyne was incorporated in 2021 with the goal of building semi-humanoid robots "as flexible and adaptable as humans" for industrial settings. The company works closely with manufacturing giants in the automotive and electronics sectors.[2]
In October 2024, Perceptyne secured $3 million in a seed funding round co-led by Endiya Partners and Yali Capital, with participation from Whiteboard Capital and angel investors. Total funding raised stands at approximately $4.31 million.[3][4]
The PR-34D was named a finalist at the Humanoid Robotics Industry Awards 2025 under the Groundbreaking Technology category, placing the company alongside global leaders such as NVIDIA and AgiBot.[5]
The PR-34D is a dual-arm semi-humanoid robot designed for tasks requiring precision and dexterity, such as component assembly, quality inspection, and handling intricate objects.
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Arms | 2 (dual-arm) |
| Arm DOF | 7 per arm (3 shoulder, 1 elbow, 3 wrist) |
| Hand DOF | 10 per hand (three-fingered) |
| Sensors | Multimodal tactile, force, and vision sensors |
| Target tasks | Assembly, quality checks, intricate object handling |
The PR-9D is a single-arm variant designed for applications where a single manipulator is sufficient, offering a more compact and cost-effective option for specific manufacturing tasks.[2]
