CyRo is a multi-arm vision-guided robotic manipulator that can grasp ‘never seen before’ objects under extreme variable lighting conditions.
CynLr, an Indian deep-tech robotics start-up specialising in Visual Object Intelligence Robotics and Cybernetics, has launched its all-purpose, reusable visual robot platform that doubles as a semi-humanoid called ‘CyRo’ at the Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston on the 1st and 2nd of May.
CyRo is a multi-arm vision-guided robotic manipulator that can 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 or translucent packaging, as per the company.
CynLr says that CyRo 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, they can be used for piece-picking, kitting, induction, sorting, packing, screwing, bolting, general assembly, etc.
“We are transforming robots from mere programmable machines into perceptive human-like entities. According to data from IFR, the robotics market was valued at $48 billion in 2019, of which $16 billion came from robotic arms and $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 standardising an age-old process of material manipulation, where objects instead of data will be the game-changer," said Gokul NA, Founder, Design, Product, and Brand at CynLr.
Nikhil Ramaswmay, Co-Founder & CEO at CynLr, said, “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”.
CynLr’s vision stack is packed with 400+ technologies that are supplied by 250+ partners or vendors from over 30 countries. CynLr has raised a total of $5.2 million in funding over two rounds. Their latest funding was led by Speciale Invest and GrowX Ventures.
