Powering safe, intelligent human-robot interaction
We build the intelligence that helps machines understand people.
As robots move beyond controlled environments into workplaces, healthcare, logistics and homes, they need more than advanced perception. They need to understand humans and anticipate their behaviour – knowing where they are, what they are doing and what they may do next.
Powered by Seeing Machines’ Human-Centred AI, our Physical AI Platform for Robotics combines more than 25 years of Human Factors research, embedded AI and production engineering with proven experience in Managed AI. Designed to work across multiple robot embodiments, the platform enables robots to better understand people and their environments, supporting safer, more intuitive human-machine interaction.
The secret to advanced robots? Understanding people.
Human environments are unpredictable. People hesitate, change direction, carry objects, communicate without words, reach unexpectedly, lose balance, become distracted and behave in ways machines don’t expect.
As robots become part of everyday life, their success will depend on more than intelligence alone. The robots that deliver the greatest value will be those that can understand people, anticipate behaviour and interact safely and intuitively in dynamic human environments. Grounded in decades of research into how people behave and interact, our platform makes that possible.

Ready for the real world.
The next generation of robotics will need more than physical capability. They will need to understand the people and adapt to the environment around them.
Combining foundation models, embedded AI, synthetic data and decades of Human Factors expertise, our hardware-agnostic Physical AI Platform enables robots to perceive, understand and respond to the world around them. By combining machine intelligence with human-centred awareness, we help robots operate safely, effectively and intuitively in real-world environments.

World-leading Human Factors expertise
Our Human-Centred AI philosophy is grounded in more than two decades of Human Factors research. By beginning with the person,we give our platform a deeper understanding of how people move, interact and respond in real-world environments, helping make human–machine interaction safer, simpler, more natural and more effective.
Edge-ready Physical AI
We combine foundation models, advanced perception AI and state-of- the-art network compression with decades of embedded deployment experience. This enables us to bring perception and action models to the edge—optimised for real- time performance under demanding compute, latency and power constraints.
Synthetic data and simulation
We bring our proven synthetic data generation capabilities from automotive to robotics—creating diverse, high-fidelity environments that accelerate model development, solve for rare and hazardous edge cases, and drive continuous improvement across robot embodiments and applications.
Production engineering discipline
Our production track record across automotive and transport, delivering complex embedded AI into OEM and Tier-1 programs sets us apart. This experience strengthens reliability, edge optimization, validation, scalable deployment and lifecycle support for production-ready perception and action models across a wide range of robotics applications.
Fleet Operations and Managed AI
Our Guardian Live platform draws on deep experience in fleet operations and Managed AI; combining edge intelligence with remote monitoring, event review, operational insights and continuous support across deployed fleets. We are extending this capability into robotics enabling fleet-wide visibility, exception handling, model monitoring and continuous over-the-air improvement.
Built for partnership
Our modular, hardware-and sensor-agnostic architecture helps Robotics OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, system integrators and RaaS operators to bring robots safely into human environments faster while preserving the flexibility, scalability and control needed to evolve and deploy at scale.
