Svaya Robotics is an Indian robotics company based in Hyderabad, founded in 2018 by Vijay Seelam. The company develops collaborative robots, general-purpose humanoid robots, quadruped robots, and wearable exoskeletons for manufacturing, defense, and healthcare applications. Svaya is notable for having developed India's first quadruped robot and wearable exoskeleton in collaboration with India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).[1][2]
Svaya Robotics was founded in 2018 by Vijay Seelam, who serves as the company's Founder and Managing Director. The company was established with the mission of empowering next-generation factories to become intelligent, adaptive, and scalable through collaborative and general-purpose humanoid robots.[3]
In a landmark collaboration with DRDO Labs, specifically the Research and Development Establishment (R&DE) in Pune and the Defence Bio-engineering and Electro Medical Laboratory (DEBEL) in Bengaluru, Svaya developed India's first indigenous quadruped robot and wearable exoskeleton as part of the Aatma Nirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) initiative.[1][2]
The quadruped robot is designed for traversing unstructured terrains to enable remote reconnaissance and inspection for military and security forces in environments unsafe for human operation. The exoskeleton is designed to fit the anthropometry of Indian soldiers and increase carrying capacity over long distances with reduced fatigue. Both are dual-purpose robots with industrial and medical applications.[1]
