robots & software for farms
Strawberry farming is a $3B industry in California alone with 60% labor cost using 40-year old software. Synphony provides strawberry picking robots and software services including: bed-level analytics, data pipeline integration, and agentic solutions. Synphony's "side hustle" is selling data, evals, and viral demos to robot foundation labs while building capacity for general robot deployments. We've started with strawberry farming for great margins and outdoor data moat, but also received requests for robots in semi-conductors and autonomous space labs. Synphony's team has won over 15 hackathons together (taking home 4 Jensen-signed GPUs!). Sean did ML research at NVIDIA and led AI products used by IRS and Citibank. Lucas' research spanned robotics, IoT devices, and neuromorphic computing. Alex architected an app with 400k users.
Synphony provides a platform to train, deploy, and scale real-world robotics systems. It focuses on building robots that perform tasks in real environments by combining AI, robotics, and human-in-the-loop workflows.
The platform enables defining a real-world task, building capabilities from data gathered in real environments, validating and deploying robot control systems, and integrating robots into production workflows. It supports training and adapting models for concrete tasks, testing under real-world constraints, and deploying robots into live operation with monitoring and continuous improvement, with the ability to tailor trained systems to existing tools, processes, and hardware.
Who it’s for: Robotics companies, Industry partners, Research/AI teams, and other organizations looking to deploy robotic systems in real-world tasks (e.g., agriculture, assembly, inspection).
Contains product platform narrative and deployment workflow; company site indicates ongoing platform development and customer-facing capabilities, with emphasis on real-world deployment and integration.
Pursued research in neuromorphic computing, Human AI system optimization, and IoT cybersecurity during my undergrad at Santa Clara University for computer science and engineering. I always want to be on the cutting edge of technology so I can push the envelope of what is feasible. I like putting the latest tools to the test for improving my efficiency. Currently I'm focused on leveling up physical intelligence to make robots into co-workers.

Deploying Robots to Strawberries & Beyond
Synphony builds robots that harvest strawberries in California fields, reducing labor costs and increasing yield per acre. The platform handles robotic deployment for field harvesting and targets the broader $15B berry industry and outdoor agricultural automation market.
