A Worldwide Trusted Robot Software Platform
Real robots. Real projects. A growing global community — here's what the Synthiam ecosystem looks like today.
Democratizing Robotics, One Builder at a Time
Without Synthiam, building robots requires deep engineering expertise — available to less than 0.001% of the world's population. We fix that. Our hardware-agnostic, AI-powered platform lets anyone — from students to enterprise R&D teams — design, program, and deploy robots without writing full-stack code from scratch.
Think of what HTML and browsers did for the internet. Synthiam does the same for robotics: turning a discipline locked behind complex toolchains into something anyone can participate in.
Synthiam is doing for robotics what HTML did for the internet.
Synthiam is not a robot company — our AI platform helps robot companies succeed.
One Platform. Every Robot.
Synthiam brings together multiple technology industries — computer vision, AI, navigation, and sensor hardware — through a single, unified interface.
Connect Any Hardware
Synthiam's EZB firmware runs on hundreds of microcontrollers and robot platforms. Connect servos, sensors, cameras, and more — no custom drivers needed.
Add Skills Instantly
Browse thousands of plug-and-play robot skills in the Skill Store. Add object detection, navigation, voice control, and more with a single click — no SDK integration required.
Deploy & Scale
From a single DIY prototype to enterprise fleets, Synthiam's cloud and on-premise deployment options scale with your product — without expensive re-engineering.
DIY, Education & Enterprise. One Shared Platform.
Synthiam connects DIY robot builders, educators using education robots, enterprise teams, technology creators, and AI/ML experts in a shared ecosystem that benefits everyone — reducing costs and accelerating what's possible. ARC serves DIY and education; ARCx serves robot builders, enterprise and industry.
Robot Builders
Programming with ARC & ARCxBuild robots without the risk and cost of full-stack technology development. ARC is the modular development environment for DIY hobbyists and educators building education robots. ARCx is built for robot companies, enterprise teams and industrial automation, running on the robot itself.
Why Synthiam?
Focus your budget on your robot's unique value — not on reinventing servo controllers, vision pipelines, or communication protocols.

Robot Skill StoreThe Skill Store is the leading distribution channel for sensors, cloud services, and peripherals used by robot builders worldwide.
Why Synthiam?
Publish your technology as a modular skill package and instantly reach millions of robot builders — no custom integrations required on their end.

ExosphereExosphere lets you control your robot from anywhere in the world, invite others to drive it, and use it as your telepresence at meetings and events.
Why Synthiam?
One robot skill gives your robot live video, two-way audio and remote controls in any web browser — no port forwarding, VPN or video server — and an access list decides who may take the controls.
Connect to ExosphereReuse Robot Skills in Your Next Project
Most robot companies spend between 80–90% of their R&D budget rebuilding technologies that already exist. That leaves almost nothing for the features, marketing, and support that actually grow a business — and it's why investors hesitate.
Synthiam is the alternative: a low-cost, software-only AI platform that compresses months of product development into hours, so your capital goes toward competitive advantage instead of commodity infrastructure.
For products and industrial systems, that platform is ARCx. It ships inside your robot on Windows, Linux or Raspberry Pi, runs headless and unattended, isolates every Robot Skill, talks to industrial PLCs over Modbus, OPC UA, EtherNet/IP and Siemens S7, bridges to ROS 2, and gives your team secure remote access to robots in the field.
Ship a working prototype without a full robotics team.
Works with the boards and sensors you already use.
Trusted by DIY builders, educators, and Fortune 500 R&D labs.
Premium plans give you direct access to our robot engineers.
Everything You Need to Build Robots
A full ecosystem of software, hardware, and cloud tools — built to work together out of the box.
ARC & ARCx — Autonomous Robot Control
The robot programming environment that replaces complex code with reusable, expert-built skill modules. ARC handles the hard parts so you can focus on what makes your robot unique.
ARC runs as a Windows desktop application and is made for DIY builders, hobbyists and education. ARCx is made for robot builders, enterprise and industrial automation: it installs on the robot's own computer — Windows, Linux or a Raspberry Pi — runs with no screen attached, and is programmed from a web browser on your network or from anywhere.

ARC-Lite — Free Mobile & Desktop App
The free companion app to ARC — available for iOS, Android, Chromebook, Windows, and macOS. ARC-Lite ships with guided activity lessons, Blockly and JavaScript programming, live camera feeds, and a touch remote control interface, so students, classrooms, and first-time builders can operate a real robot in minutes. Projects published from ARC Pro load straight into ARC-Lite on any device.

AI Script Assistant
Built into ARC, the AI Script Assistant writes, fixes, and explains JavaScript and Python robot scripts from plain-English prompts. It knows your project's real global variables, EZB ports, and controlCommand() targets — so the code it returns runs on your robot, not a generic example.
Meet the AI Script Assistant →Robot Skill Store
The leading marketplace for robot technologies. Instantly add cloud services, sensor drivers, AI behaviors, and more — delivered as modular skills that drop straight into ARC. No API wrangling, no SDK headaches.
Browse the Skill Store →Exosphere — Remote Control & Telepresence
Drive your robot from anywhere in the world through a web browser. Invite friends, family, colleagues or students to take the controls, send the robot to a meeting or event as your telepresence, or let it post a request for help when it gets stuck.
Try Exosphere →Roll Out — Open-Source Hardware
Synthiam publishes open-source hardware reference designs on GitHub — advanced navigation systems, sensor arrays, EZB controllers, and more. Skip months of R&D and build on proven designs.
