Perceptual Robotics: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

Perceptual Robotics creates intelligent automation for wind turbine inspections and more. Utilizing an intelligent Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV), Perceptual Robotics provides existing inspection engineers with a new, cost-effective inspection tool that increases the number of inspections, and quality, whilst minimising health and safety risks. ‘Dhalion’, known as an intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle, provides inspection engineers with a new, cost-effective inspection tool which minimises inspection time and health and safety risks. The company has received funding from Innovate UK’s ‘open’ programme for innovative businesses with high-growth potential. At the press of a button, a wind turbine inspection is carried out in minutes. Throughout the flight Dhalion is equipped to take evasive manoeuvres if necessary. Dhalion is an autonomous inspection platform for wind turbines. At the press of a button, Dhalion allows existing O&M teams to complete wind turbine inspections in minutes rather hours with increased inspection quality. The path is optimised for optimum coverage, reliability in weather and consistent data acquisition. Throughout the flight, Dhalion minds its surrounding and deals intelligently with obstacles and unexpected situations. The inspection data are then automatically distilled to useful information about position, size, and severity of defects on the tower and blades. It can identify lightning strikes, cracks, erosion and delamination as well as highlight anything out of the ordinary. The consistent data capture allows for long term analytics from data mining massive amounts of information to inform O&M decision making.

About FundedIQ's Perceptual Robotics Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Perceptual Robotics is left off this page rather than filled in.
