Visual object intelligence platform: Making robots see like us

A 13,000-sq ft space where nine robots practise their moves picking up not just hard objects but irregular shaped ones like a packet of chips or even something slippery such as a shiny Coke can and then placing them in their exact groove. This is H.I.V.E. – short for Hub for Intelligence & Vision Excellence – an advanced research lab built by deep-tech robotics and cybernetics company CynLr (Cybernetics Laboratories) in Bengaluru. Around 40 engineers work in the electronics, camera and vision laboratory in the quest to make robotic arms better at mimicking the human arm.
