This 3-armed robot could be the future of factories

It can grasp and ‘feel’ objects, moving them around without needing to be pre-programmed. It has a vision system based on the human eye, which can adapt to different lighting levels and cope with reflective or transparent materials which can be tricky for bots.
Meet CyRo, a 3-armed robot designed to handle objects with the dexterity of a human - without the need for pre-programming. Its adaptive vision system mimics the human eye, allowing it to operate under varying lighting and handle tricky materials like glass or reflective surfaces.
CyRo enables flexible manufacturing
Developed by CynLr, CyRo can perform tasks from sorting and picking to general assembly. It’s part of a broader vision for a ‘universal factory’ - one capable of switching between building entirely different products on demand, such as smartphones and cars.
The rise of adaptive, sensor-driven automation
CyRo exemplifies intelligent robotics, which uses multi-modal sensors and machine learning to create machines that understand and respond to their environments. This marks a shift from rigid programming to contextual awareness in robotics.
