  "account": "Integra Robotics, a Bengaluru-based startup, focuses on developing modular robotic hardware and software for hazardous factory and defence work. The company's modular platform resembles Lego, enabling customizable robots for various tasks. Integra's robots feature robotic arms with payload capacities from 3 kg to 20 kg, underwater robotic arms, mobile bases carrying up to 500 kg, and wireless robots for hazardous missions. The software operates in three modes: teleoperation, supervised autonomy, and fully autonomous operation. Integra has secured an Indian patent for its teleoperation system, which lets operators control humanoid-like robots remotely using VR headsets, body-motion tracking, and haptic gloves. Data from the robots improves the software through reinforcement learning and machine learning. Customers include private companies and system integrators, with deployments such as underwater robotic arms for EyeROV and ordnance handling systems for Anuvyom Alliance. Integra has raised Rs 12 crore in funding, with plans to deploy nearly 50 robotic arms for industrial automation and expand underwater and ordnance-handling applications.",
