The platform creates a dynamic 3D perception map of people, objects, and surroundings. It is designed to help robots understand spatial relationships, interpret human behavior, anticipate risk, and make decisions in real time.

Seeing Machines said its driver and occupant monitoring technology is deployed in more than eight million vehicles. The new platform extends that sensing work into robots that may operate in factories, workplaces, hospitals, homes, public spaces, warehouses, mining sites, and industrial automation settings.
