Proception develops a sensor-packed, high-dexterity robotic hand with 22 degrees of freedom and multiple joints per finger, and a glove used to capture human hand interaction data without requiring a robot in the loop. The same glove design serves as the hand's tactile "skin," enabling finer, task-specific data collection that the company says will help improve dexterous manipulation. Proception is shipping its first batch of hands to researchers and robotics companies and is opening up to wider orders with the aim of becoming a leading supplier of robotic hands. Founder Jay Li, a former technical lead on Tesla's Optimus humanoid program, positioned the company to scale both hardware and data collection in parallel. The company emphasizes combining hardware and scalable data to accelerate progress on dexterous manipulation; the articles do not report revenue, user metrics, or detailed financials.
