SYNC ROBOTIC, a subsidiary of the Foxlink Group, has launched a new robot, introducing an integrated solution aimed at the autonomous security and inspection sector. The platform incorporates a range of technologies associated with physical artificial intelligence (Physical AI), including reinforcement learning, speech and visual recognition, vision-language models, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), path planning, and obstacle avoidance calibrated for human environments.
The AI Robot Platform is engineered for deployment in locations such as commercial and retail buildings, industrial facilities, and public infrastructure. According to the company, the system is capable of conducting autonomous patrols and generating real-time situational awareness through anomaly detection and automatic alerts. The robots are designed to operate continuously, including in environments that are high-risk or typically unstaffed.
The system is based on the NVIDIA Isaac GR00T N1 model, enabling edge computing and on-site decision-making. It supports multiple robotic configurations, including quadrupeds, humanoids, and drones. The platform includes modular sensors for functions such as intrusion and fire detection and supports autonomous navigation and recharging capabilities.
SYNC ROBOTIC reports that pilot deployments have led to a threefold increase in inspection coverage and a reduction in human presence in hazardous settings. In one application cited by the company, quadruped robots were deployed at offshore wind farms, reducing the frequency of human visits and associated risks.
The company plans to expand internationally, beginning with the United States through Foxlink’s Luminys brand. It also anticipates extending the platform’s applications to sectors such as manufacturing, environmental modeling, media production, and customer service. Market Research Future projects that the global inspection robot market will grow from approximately US\$4 billion in 2024 to nearly US\$20 billion by 2030, reflecting broader trends in automation and labor efficiency.
