CynLr unveils Object Intelligence platform to help robots learn like humans
Bengaluru: In a significant stride for India’s deep-tech ecosystem, Bengaluru-based robotics start-up CynLr on Thursday unveiled its Object Intelligence (OI) Platform, a system designed to help robots learn and adapt to unfamiliar objects in real time – much like a human baby.
Developed over five years of research and development, the platform enables robots to handle previously unseen objects within 10 to 15 seconds, a sharp departure from conventional physical AI systems that often require months of data training and controlled environments. The company claims this is India’s first commercially ready Object Intelligence platform.
At the core of the system is CLX, an OI-enabled vision module that analyses an unknown object’s geometry, texture, reflectance and grasp points instantly. Instead of relying on pre-programmed routines, the robot experiments, recalibrates and improves with each attempt. This allows it to manage complex items such as transparent bottles, reflective metallic parts and irregular components — long-standing challenges in robotics.
CynLr’s robots – CyRo and CyNoid – are already being evaluated by global luxury automotive and semiconductor automation companies for assembly-line and fab-lab applications. An open hardware platform, Mantroid, is also in the pipeline, allowing manufacturers to customise robotic form factors to suit specific industrial needs.
Founder Gokul NA said the next era of robotics would move beyond repetition towards cognition and adaptability, paving the way for a “Universal Factory” – a software-defined manufacturing floor capable of switching between products without retooling.
With research collaborations including IISc and new entities in Switzerland and the US, CynLr is now preparing for its next funding round, targeting scaled production of one robot per day by 2028.
