SYNTHEA Advanced Technologies

Robotics

Intelligent Motion. Engineered Precision.

We design custom robotic systems and precision mechanisms — from the kinematic concept and actuator selection to control architecture and working prototypes.

01Capabilities

What we engineer.

  • 01

    Custom robotic systems

    Application-specific robots designed around your task, workspace and constraints rather than adapted from a catalogue.

  • 02

    Precision motion mechanisms

    Linear axes, gantries, articulated arms and compact mechanisms with attention to stiffness, backlash and repeatability.

  • 03

    Kinematics & motion planning

    Forward and inverse kinematics, trajectory generation and workspace analysis to define how the system should move.

  • 04

    Robotic control systems

    Control architecture, motor and drive selection, sensors and the integration of motion controllers with software.

  • 05

    Robotic product design

    Turning a robotic concept into a coherent product: enclosure, ergonomics, serviceability and manufacturability.

  • 06

    Prototyping

    Functional prototypes to test mechanisms and control strategies early, before committing to production tooling.

02Typical challenges

Problems we are asked to solve.

  • 01

    A manual or repetitive task needs to become precise, consistent and automated.

  • 02

    Off-the-shelf robots do not fit the workspace, payload or process.

  • 03

    A robotic concept exists, but the mechanics and control have not been engineered.

  • 04

    An existing mechanism lacks accuracy, stiffness or reliability.

03Example applications

  • Food production

    Controlled deposition, handling and decoration processes where precision and hygiene matter.

  • Laboratory automation

    Repeatable positioning, dispensing and sample handling for research environments.

  • Light industrial handling

    Pick-and-place, transfer and positioning tasks for small and medium production.

  • Research platforms

    Custom robotic test benches for experiments, validation and teaching.

Examples describe typical application areas, not completed client projects.

04Engineering workflow

A clear path from question to result.

  1. STEP 01

    Task analysis

    Define motions, payloads, workspace, cycle and environment.

  2. STEP 02

    Kinematic concept

    Select architecture — Cartesian, SCARA, articulated or custom.

  3. STEP 03

    Mechanical & control design

    CAD, actuator sizing, sensors and control architecture.

  4. STEP 04

    Simulation

    Check motion, reach and structural behaviour virtually.

  5. STEP 05

    Prototype & test

    Build, tune and evaluate against the agreed requirements.

05FAQ

Questions, answered.

Ask us directly
Do you build complete robots or only design them?

Both are possible. We can deliver the engineering design package for your manufacturer, or develop a functional prototype. The scope is agreed per project.

Can you work with an existing robot or machine?

Yes. We can design end-effectors, fixtures, additional axes or mechanical improvements around existing equipment.

What information do you need to start?

A description of the task, the objects or materials involved, the space available and any constraints you already know. Sketches, photos or videos help.

Is my project information kept confidential?

Yes. We are happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement before detailed technical discussions.
