Proception

Startup in Palo Alto, California, building humanoids that do useful jobs.

[Jay@Proception @JayLiStanford]

Just delivered a product in SF before we've even officially announced it.

Always great to work with customers who are pushing the boundaries with us.

The next couple of months could be wild. Foundation models are advancing fast, and I think we're about to see some mind-blowing shifts across the robotics industry.

What a time to build.

https://t.co/LyjOiDYfXS is heading to IROS 2026 in Pittsburgh, Sept 27–Oct 1. Booth 628.

We're bringing something new, and you'll want to see it.

We're also hosting an event that week to get people together in person. Come find us.

@_jaku_xu That’s 😎

[Jay@Proception @JayLiStanford]

Wrist camera is now available for ProGlove.
Started with ProHand. It's only right to bring it here next.
The demand for tactile data keeps growing. This gives people the visual layer to go with it.
We're just getting started.

a few fun ones from S26

Missed Actuate 26? Here’s a quick video clip to give you a glimpse of the event. 🤖

[Jay@Proception @JayLiStanford]

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

[Jay@Proception @JayLiStanford]

Next stop: Actuate 26 (Aug 18–19, SF). We're bringing ProHand back out for live demos after its debut at ICRA this summer. Come find us at Fort Mason.

[Jay@Proception @JayLiStanford]

Back in the Bay after a long stretch of travel.

Seeing ProHands delivered and used by customers is incredible.
More to come 🚀

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.

Most robots still can't use their hands. Proception is fixing the one part of the humanoid everybody forgot.

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_ !

[Proception @proceptionAI]

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. 🔥

[Jay@Proception @JayLiStanford]

You asked, we listened. Introducing the all-new wrist camera — wide fisheye FOV, global shutter, up to 90 FPS — now live on ProHand 1.0! Check out and follow @proceptionAI to see what else we are building! 🚀📸

[Jay@Proception @JayLiStanford]

Robots need to handle fragile objects.

Here’s our ProHand moving real eggs between trays. The video is sped up to show multiple successful transfers, and we cracked one at the end to prove it’s real.

Not fast yet. But useful dexterity starts here.

[Proception @proceptionAI]

Wishing America a happy 250th birthday weekend 🇺🇸

[Proception @proceptionAI]

ProHand is fine. Mine hurts just watching this.

[Jay@Proception @JayLiStanford]

Our engineer hammered ProHand prototype last year during a customer visit.

The hand survived like nothing happened to it.

The customers asked to check the hammer.
