Is the uncertainty principle only applicable to human perception?

The way I understand it, light has impact on position/velocity of an object. We need light to perceive, so we cannot perceive without disrupting position/velocity and so we are eternally uncertain of them. But, if an alien species could perceive without light, then they could know the precise position/velocity, yes? Meaning the universe wouldn't operate under the uncertainty principle. It would then be just a tool to aid with the limits of human perception.
