Deep tech robotics startup Armatrix has raised $2.1 million in a pre seed funding round led by pi Ventures, with participation from Inuka Capital, Boundless Ventures, Boost VC, Turbostart, and returning investor gradCapital.

The proceeds will be used to complete the development of its proprietary snake like flexible robotic arm technology, expand the engineering and R and D team, and accelerate pilot deployments with industrial customers, the company said in a press release.

Co founded in 2024 by Vishrant Dave, Prateesh Awasthi, and Ayush Ranjan, Armatrix develops snake like, hyper redundant robotic manipulators designed to operate in hazardous and confined industrial environments.

The Bengaluru based company aims to automate operations in hazardous and confined environments across sectors such as shipbuilding, nuclear, oil and gas, and aviation, where fatal injuries related to confined space work have been reported. Inspection and maintenance of critical infrastructure such as storage and fuel tanks, hulls, and reactors often require human entry into dangerous spaces.

According to market research, the global robotics maintenance market was valued at $41.66 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $150 billion by 2032.

Armatrix core technology focuses on reachability and actuation systems. Its robotic arm features high flexibility for seamless navigation, modular end effectors, and an AI based navigation system that enables real time adaptability.

Our mission is to move from a reactive, high cost maintenance model to a proactive, zero downtime standard, creating a paradigm shift in industrial inspection and maintenance. This funding enables us to scale from proof of concept to early adopters and validate the platform across real world inspection and operational use cases, said Vishrant Dave, co founder and CEO of Armatrix Automations.

Looking ahead, Armatrix aims to emerge as a globally competitive deep tech robotics company, building AI native, high performance robotic systems that set new benchmarks in safety, precision, and efficiency for mission critical industrial operations.
