About CynLr

As a foundational technology building company in Robotics & AI,
CynLr
builds visual robots that
can intuitively learn to pick & handle even unknown objects without requiring any prior training
, just like a human baby fiddling with objects. CynLr calls this stack
Object Intelligence (OI).

From fitting a screw to removing object out of its the plastic wrapper to automating the assembly of a car/gadget - every such object handling task that involves
"adapting on the fly
" is not prior trainable & thereby remains non-automatable across the industries. Wit
h
OI
's ability to learn on the fly
, CynLr's focus is to universally automate factories and eliminate the need for complicated custom machines to manufacture products. Thereby simplifying manufacturing into

Universal Factories, which can be programmatically repurposed to produce a wide variety of Products.

CynLr envisions the future factories to be decentralized, micro factories (not the Giga Factories) that could rather be hosted in your street-ends; opening up the possibility of Personalized Products – liberating design of products from the constraints of manufacturability.

As
a Robotics Engineer
