Founded in 2024 by IIT Kanpur engineers Vishrant Dave, Prateesh Awasthi and Ayush Ranjan, Bengaluru-based Armatrix is building 3–5-metre snake-like robotic arms with diameters of just 50–150 mm and more than 22 degrees of freedom. The robots use an extrinsic actuation architecture—placing motors outside the arm—to improve safety and enable operations in flammable, high-temperature or liquid settings where conventional robots fail. Integrated AI provides real-time path planning, while digital-twin simulation allows operators to optimise missions before deployment. Modular end-effectors let a single arm tackle varied inspection and operational tasks without swapping machines. Target customers span shipbuilding, nuclear energy, oil and gas, and aviation, where reducing downtime and human risk is critical. The company has already demonstrated a three-metre proof-of-concept unit and plans to use new capital to finish product development, expand engineering and research teams, and launch pilots with industrial partners. Armatrix is positioning itself to capture a share of the robotics maintenance market, projected to grow from $41.66 billion in 2023 to $150 billion by 2032.
