Proception: Tesla lawsuit settled, $11M seed for dextrous robot hands

Former Tesla engineer Jay Li has settled his trade secret lawsuit with Tesla and is launching Proception with $11 million in seed funding to develop high-dexterity robotic hands.

In detail

  • Seed round of $11M led by First Round Capital, with participation from Y Combinator and BoxGroup.
  • Proception is shipping its first batch of robotic hands to researchers and robotics companies.
  • Focus: robot hands that mimic human hands—a challenge Elon Musk has called one of the biggest engineering problems to solve.

Why it matters

Dextrous robot hands are a critical bottleneck in robotics. For German manufacturers and automation specialists, an off-the-shelf hand solution could save significant development time and cost.

For you Watch Proception's progress—if the solution matures, it could be a real alternative to in-house development for your automation projects.
