TL;DR
- CyRo can pick up objects it’s never seen before, almost like a curious baby.
- It learns how to grab things on the spot, no long training needed.
- Audi and other top brands are already testing it.
At the India AI Impact Summit 2026, CynLr’s new robot, CyRo, stole the spotlight. With two arms and a pair of eyes, it does something most robots can’t like picking up objects it’s never seen before. CyRo is built to mimic the human upper torso and comes with what CynLr calls "baby-like intuitiveness."
As CynLr co-founder Gokul Namakkal Arulsanmugam put it, "That's how limited the robotics technology is," pointing out how even simple tasks like fitting a bolt into a screw hole can trip up most machines.
Based in Bengaluru, with a research centre in Lausanne, CynLr is giving robots a brain-like ability to handle objects in unfamiliar situations. Unlike traditional AI, CyRo doesn’t need millions of data points or weeks of training.
Gokul spoke about building an intuitiveness in the robot, similar to a human baby. “A human baby will be able to go and pick an object without knowing what they are. “Unless and until you build that intuitiveness into a robot, they are not trainable, they are not AI-friendly.”
Topics For More Insights:
Technology is already catching attention. CynLr is running a two-year pilot with Audi and has signed a deal with a top semiconductor equipment maker, with talks ongoing with luxury car brands. Beyond automotive, CyRo could revolutionize warehouse automation and labs where human contamination must be avoided.
For now, CyRo is stationary, but its mobile counterpart, Synoid, hints at future possibilities including surgical robotics. CynLr’s bigger goal is Software Defined Factories, where a simple software update could completely change production lines.
