India Takes a Major Step in Humanoid Robotics with Sherpa Mecha
India has taken its first major step in humanoid robotics with the introduction of Sherpa Mecha by Aty Motors. As global powers increase their investments and deployments in manufacturing, services, and defense sectors, India is stepping into this exciting field of robotics.
Sherpa Mecha, a human-inspired robot, is a significant milestone in advancing the boundaries of robotics research. Aty Motors CEO, Saurabh Chandra, has highlighted the company’s ambition to create a world-class robotic platform in India that is scalable, intelligent, and ready for export. Unlike fully humanoid robots, Sherpa Mecha is designed with a "work-first" approach, intended for high-precision tasks in complex factory environments.
Product Day 2025: A Milestone for India’s Deep-Tech Industry
During the Product Day 2025 event, Aty Motors, a robotics startup from India, unveiled Sherpa Mecha, marking a significant turn for India’s deep-tech sector. The robot is industrially focused, designed to perform high-precision tasks within challenging factory settings. This unveiling represents a quiet yet bold ambition—to create world-class robotics platforms in India.
Sherpa 10K: Expanding India’s Industrial Robotics Ecosystem
Along with Sherpa Mecha, Aty Motors launched the Sherpa 10K, a heavy-duty autonomous mobile robot (AMR) capable of lifting up to five tons with millimeter-level accuracy. The Sherpa 10K is already conducting over a million autonomous missions annually in Southeast Asia, the US, and Mexico. It is designed to handle the most challenging industrial environments globally and in India.
Key Features of Sherpa 10K
- Heavy-duty design: Capable of towing up to 5 tons.
- Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR): A robust and reliable platform for industrial environments.
- Global Deployment: Already operating in Southeast Asia, the US, and Mexico.
