A little Halloween fun 🎃
Our robotic hand cuts open a bag of candy and puts it into a bowl.
Dexterous manipulation, one piece of candy at a time.
Happy Halloween! 👻
Built in Mountain View, shipping now.
ProHand Gen 2: 22 DoF, 20 kg grip, tactile skin across the whole hand, rated for 2M cycles.
Specs and ordering: proception.ai/product/pro-ha…
Robotics is now a Section 232 national-security issue.
The hand is where the US dependence is deepest: almost every dexterous robot hand shipping today is made in China.
We've been building ours in Mountain View for two years. Shipping now.

Missed Actuate 26? Here’s a quick video clip to give you a glimpse of the event. 🤖
Brought ProHand to Actuate last week. Being around innovators in this space and seeing them react to what we're building never gets old.
Sold a pair of ProGloves on the spot. That's the ecosystem we're building toward.
More coming soon. @proceptionAI

Tabled at @ycombinator's Work at a Startup: Live! this weekend.
The best part was the enthusiasm — students with real questions, engineers picking up ProHand and immediately imagining what else it could do.
That's who we want. We're hiring.
Devang from @TheHumanoidHub visited us last week in our Mountain View office! Fun moment from our conversation: he guessed the thumb is the most important finger for grip strength. It's actually the pinky. Small detail, but it's the kind of thing that shapes how we design these hands to actually work like a human's.
Full thing's linked below.
Thanks for stopping by, @dev_and_ !
It doesn't just hold. It handles. 🦾 Our very own ProHand pulling off real in-hand ball rotation. Stay tuned for even more cool demos and increased capabilities. 🔥
ProHand & ProGlove are shipping
The most human-like, capable robot hand ever built. Hardware + data, end-to-end.
We’ve raised $11M to accelerate this.
We pushed Fusion pretty hard while building ProHand.
When standard CAD workflows weren’t enough, we built our own tools with Autodesk Fusion’s Python API. It removed a lot of painful manual work and helped us iterate much faster.

Breakthroughs don’t always come from big teams. This motor was designed and built end-to-end by one engineer. Sometimes the right talent is all you need.
Excited to have Proception on the first-ever Black Flag 100 — a list 100 deep tech companies, nominated by 300+ deep tech founders.
