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.
