Voaige Inc. is a deep tech robotics software startup headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, founded in February 2021 by Dipan Pal, who holds a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University. The company's core product is DeepSpace, a foundational AI model for physical intelligence designed to allow robotic and automation experts to build end-to-end solutions for challenging physical tasks without requiring task-specific training data.
DeepSpace is an AI vision software system that can be integrated with third-party robotic arms to enable pick-and-pack operations across a wide range of SKUs. The platform is easily reprogrammable, adaptive, and fast, positioning it as a drop-in intelligence layer for existing automation hardware. Key use cases include grocery fulfillment, end-of-line packing, case packing for food and consumer products, and visual quality inspection and data analytics.
Voaige works primarily with system integrators to deploy robotic automation covering pick, pack, and sort-from-pile workflows, and with end users directly for visual quality inspection and data analytic solutions. Target verticals include food processing, grocery, consumer product brands, and retail.
The company participated in the inaugural cohort of Pittsburgh's Robotics Factory accelerator program, run by Innovation Works, and was among finalists at the A3 Automate 2023 conference in Detroit. Following the Robotics Factory program, Voaige raised $2 million in pre-seed funding led by Draper Associates and Boost VC, with additional investors including Robotics Factory, Innovation Works, and Magarac Venture Partners. Total funding reported is approximately $2.7 million.
Voaige is a member of the Association for Advancing Automation (A3) under the Robotics Technology Provider category since 2022. The company employs approximately 9 people. The software is hardware-agnostic and integrates with commercially available robotic arms, requiring no proprietary hardware purchases from Voaige.
