Reimagining Robotics and Manufacturing: Gokul NA on Vision Intelligence and Universal Micro Factories | Ep 1104

In this groundbreaking episode of The Digital Executive podcast, host Brian Thomas welcomes Gokul NA, co-founder of CynLr, to explore how rethinking machine vision and robotics from a neuroscience-inspired lens can radically transform industrial automation and manufacturing.Gokul shares the journey from solving 30+ previously unsolvable vision problems—spanning everything from grain sorting at microsecond speeds to intricate medical device assembly—to the founding of SEINER in 2019. By treating motion as a core sensory input and mirroring the human brain’s ability to intuitively understand and manipulate unknown objects, Gokul and his team developed Cyro, an intelligent robotic system that adapts in real time—much like a human infant.The conversation also dives deep into Gokul’s recent presentation at the AI for Good Summit 2025, where he outlines a bold vision for decentralized, sustainable micro-factories. These “universal factories” challenge traditional, rigid manufacturing lines by offering agile, modular systems capable of adapting to dynamic customer needs while dramatically reducing material waste and production costs.If you’re curious about the future of robotics, manufacturing, or how AI can more closely emulate human intelligence, this episode is a must-listen.If you liked what you heard today, please leave us a review.
