Synthia (SNT-01A)

Synthia, model code SNT-01A, is a modular companion humanoid from the Norwegian company Syntheva Robotics, built for the home. Buyers choose a height between 165 and 190 cm, yet the robot weighs only 9.8 to 12 kg, because the body is moved by 23 servos that the maker does not formally count as degrees of freedom.

A brain board with two CPU sockets takes a BCM2712 as standard or an RK3588S as an option, with 8 to 16 GB of RAM per processor and up to two RK3588S chips with 32 GB in total. The EMMA emotional engine runs entirely on the device, learns locally and, according to the maker, never touches the cloud.

Two cameras, a microphone and touch and force sensors support conversation, gestures, recognising people and remembering the owner's preferences. Safety features are a motion lock when danger is detected and a kill switch. Synthetic skin is optional, and a hand module is promised for a future update. Walking and speed are not specified.

The maker's website shows a starting price of $6,490 MSRP in October 2026, with the currency symbol left unqualified and the final figure confirmed at pre-order. First production units are already with early customers, and a sister model, Lyena SNT-02H, exists. Compared with companion robots such as realbotix-f-series, Synthia emphasises low weight and modularity.
