Syntro
Syntro is WorkFar's humanoid robot, and its pitch is less about walking than about working: it is a wheeled platform with humanlike kinematics, 45 degrees of freedom and a 20 kg payload, built to take on the warehouse and manufacturing jobs that are hard to staff. It is published at 1.7 m tall, 0.64 m wide and 108 kg, with the 45 degrees of freedom distributed across a 2-degree head, 4-degree arms, 3-degree wrists, 12-degree hands, a 2-degree waist and 3 degrees of freedom in the wheels, which is what keeps it upright and stable rather than bipedal. The hands are the point of the design: they perform fine-detail work with repeatable accuracy in electronics and automotive manufacturing, and in pharmaceutical settings the reduced human contact cuts contamination risk in sterile rooms. It carries intelligent sensors, machine learning and real-time environment mapping, so it can work alongside people without physical barriers in facilities pursuing Industry 4.0, and it is aimed at high-mix low-volume workflows where change is constant. WorkFar sells it three ways on top of the same base machine. Base gives core perception, motion and safety with a programming platform and SDK, aimed at entry, development, education and fun. Telepresence adds live teleoperation and shared autonomy with intuitive control over HD audio and video and ships with a VR headset, gloves, a suit and pedals, for dangerous areas, clean rooms, collaboration and AI training. Intelligent adds built-in artificial intelligence that learns and adapts in real time, advanced fleet management and an IoT layer, shipping with a WorkFar Intelligence licence key. The hybrid model is central: paired with a trained remote operator in VR goggles and force-feedback gloves, Syntro lets a business put human judgement into a hazardous task without putting the human there. It is made in the United States at Advantage Plastics in Louisville, Kentucky, and sold from USD 9,999.99 to USD 59,999.99, with financing by outright purchase, equipment lending, leasing or monthly use, including a robot plus a trained remote operator with no down payment.
