Indian deep-tech robotics startup CynLr recently introduced its groundbreaking Semi-Humanoid robot, 'CyRo', at the Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston. CyRo is equipped with CynLr’s proprietary vision object intelligence stack, enabling it to handle complex tasks in varied lighting conditions without prior exposure to the objects it manipulates.
CyRo's debut marks a significant shift in robotics, moving beyond traditional robotic systems that require extensive training and environmental adjustments. This multi-arm vision-guided robotic manipulator can intuitively grasp objects even in reflective packaging, making it ideal for applications across warehousing, manufacturing, lab automation, and more.
The versatility of CyRo allows it to perform a wide array of functions such as piece-picking, kitting, sorting, and general assembly without the need for hardware customization. "CyRo represents a paradigm shift in robotics technology through its multi-purpose applicability," said Gokul NA, Founder – Design, Product & Brand at CynLr. He highlighted the economic impact of such technology, noting, "Imagine a world with simple dextrous visual robots like Cyro deployed at manufacturing lines. Manufacturers will have unparalleled flexibility and will be able to make products as per market demand."
Currently, CynLr is piloting these visual robots with major players like General Motors & Denso, indicating strong industry interest. "We are already getting positive feedback for CyRo in the US," commented Nikhil Ramaswamy, Co-Founder & CEO of CynLr. He also revealed the company’s expansion into Europe with a new hardware design facility in Switzerland, aimed at leveraging local talent and advanced research capabilities.
The technology, designed in CynLr's Bengaluru-based R&D centre (H.I.V.E), promises to revolutionize industrial automation by enabling the creation of 'Universal Factories'—product-agnostic manufacturing facilities. With a robust team of over 50 engineers and a network of 250+ vendors from 30 countries, CynLr's vision stack incorporates more than 400 technologies.
