Company Summary CynLr Technology is a tech company dealing in deep-tech robotics and cybernetics. They enable robots to become intuitive and capable of dynamic object manipulation with minimal training effort. CynLr has developed a visual object intelligence platform that interfaces with robotic arms to achieve the Holy Grail of Robotics' - Universal Object Manipulation. This enables CynLr-powered arms to pick up unrecognized objects without recalibrating hardware and even works with mirror-finished objects (a traditionally hard obstacle for visual intelligence) Today, even the simple task of putting a screw into a screw hole without slipping a thread remains non-automatable across the globe. Imagine what it would take for a robot to assemble a Smartphone or a car (Musk's words) by putting together 1000s of parts of varied shapes and weights presented in random orientations. Enabling robots to perform Picking Orienting and placing objects straight from their container has been a long-standing unsolved problem - touted as The Holy Grail of Robotics and has remained unsolved for over 40 years. We at CynLr build the missing pieces of Visual Intelligence for Robotic Arms to make them Object-aware to manipulate with superior agility - adapting to the object's varying shapes, orientations, and weights. This could simplify and standardize large, customized factory lines into LEGO blocks of micro-factories. Why Join Us The problem that we solve is multi-disciplinary, which interfaces with stakeholders from almost every Engineering Industry and every variety of strata in it. This brings the challenge of coming up with a unique approach every time to deal with every different stakeholder. This quickly gets into a demanding, unpredictable, and heavy Context Switching problem. However, if looked at it as an opportunity, it allows for deep exposure to a rich variety of management and operational problems and opens the door for plenty of alternate career options. Needless to say, the exciting yet demanding part of a start-up - every passing day, the Company grows and the needs change, expansively!
