CynLr Unveils CyRo, a Visual Robot Platform with a Unique Perspective on Humanoids

Bengaluru, India – CynLr, an Indian deep-tech robotics startup specializing in Visual Object Intelligence Robotics and Cybernetics, recently launched and showcased its All-Purpose, Reusable Visual Robot platform that doubles as a Semi-Humanoid called 'CyRo' at the Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston on May 1 and 2, 2024. CyRo, powered by CynLr’s proprietary vision object intelligence stack, is a Multi-arm vision guided robotic manipulator that can intuitively grasp ‘never seen before’ objects, under extreme variable lighting conditions, requiring no lighting engineering, and can even handle complexities like reflective objects, i.e., objects in transparent/translucent packaging.

The company represents a paradigm shift in robotics technology through its multi-purpose applicability in warehousing, manufacturing, lab automation, industrial kitchens, and kiosk dispensing. In these industries, it can be used for piece-picking, kitting, induction, sorting, packing, screwing, bolting, general assembly, etc. Unlike traditional robots that require extensive training, hardware (HW) customization specific to each task with a highly-controlled environment, CyRo requires no HW integration or environmental customization. CyRo possesses human-eye inspired vision and intelligence hardware and software stack which makes it ‘natively intuitive’ about objects without having to see or train on them before. This makes the robot easily repurposable for any task with zero HW customization/modification. CyRo future-proofs customer investments into automation. Currently, the company is piloting these visual robots with General Motors and Denso.

CynLr has a team of 50 plus engineers who are skilled in vision, robotics  and engineering. CynLr’s vision stack is packed with 400+ technologies that are supplied by 250+ partners or vendors from over 30 countries.

Stating to transform robots from mere programmable machines into perceptive human-like entities, Gokul NA, Founder - Design, Product & Brand at CynLr, added, "According to data from IFR, the robotics market was valued at US$ 48 billion in 2019, of which US$ 16 billion sales came from robotic arms and US$ 32 billion went into customization. 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. We are at the genesis point of standardizing an age-old process of material manipulation, where objects instead of data will be the game-changer."

Nikhil Ramaswmay, Co-Founder & CEO, CynLr, commented, "We are already getting positive feedback for CyRo in the US. We are excited to bring our technology to the global stage. We recently opened a hardware design facility in Switzerland, where we are developing these visual robots using the skilled talent and advanced research facilities available there. The technology has been designed in India in our state-of-the-art R&D center (H.I.V.E) in Bengaluru. We envision that CyRo has the potential to change the future of industrial automation, ushering in an era of ‘Universal Factories-product agnostic factories."
