General Autonomy Unveils Param, Indigenous Quadruped Robot at India AI Impact Expo

The launch positions a homegrown platform for roles from industrial inspection to search and rescue.

Overview

  • The company introduced the robot in Delhi and shared a viral video showing it navigating Bengaluru traffic without human control.
  • General Autonomy asserts the machine is fully built in India rather than assembled from imported parts.
  • Stated capabilities include autonomous navigation with obstacle detection, stair climbing up to 30 centimetres, a sideways crab walk, and self-righting after falls.
  • The startup says development has run for about seven months with updates every two weeks using lessons from its earlier humanoid project.
  • News18 reports the robot is expected to reach the market in the second quarter of 2026, a timeline presented as an expectation rather than a confirmed release.
