Robots from Norway

Synthia (SNT-01A)

Synthia (model SNT-01A) is a full-size, lifelike humanoid companion robot from Syntheva Robotics of Orkanger, Norway, revealed as a working prototype on December 17, 2024, with the first batch of SNT-01x units shipped to early customers in 2025. Its height can be set between 165 and 190 cm and it weighs only 9.8–12 kg depending on configuration. A realistic face, 23 servos for gestures, lip-sync and body positioning, dual cameras, a microphone, and tactile and force sensors let it hold spoken conversations, recognize and track people and objects, and handle simple objects. Its brain board takes one or two swappable CPUs (BCM2712 or RK3588S), and its EMMA emotional engine runs fully offline by default. Synthia is modular: buyers can start with the head on a stand and add a torso, arms and legs later. Syntheva lists it from $6,490 MSRP and says the current focus is entertainment and companionship.
