Robotics

Executive Summary   The global manufacturing landscape sits at a critical juncture. While companies worldwide invest some $34 billion annually in industrial robotics, with growth projected at 13.8 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2034, reality on factory floors lags expectations.   Approximately 72 percent of manufacturing tasks globally still require human hands, and even advanced automotive plants automate less than 10 percent of operations. This gap exist

The robotics industry finds itself at a fascinating crossroads. While Figure AI recently secured more than $1 billion at a staggering $39 billion valuation—a 15x increase from its previous funding round—and other humanoid robotics companies chase similarly astronomical valuations, some industry practitioners advocate for a more grounded approach to automation.   Gokul NA and Nikhil Ramaswamy, the founders of CynLr, a Bengaluru-based robotics company that has deliberately chos
