## About Perceptive Automata

Perceptive Automata was an AI company based in Boston, Massachusetts, founded in 2015/2016 by a team of experts from Harvard, MIT, and Stanford.

The company focused on enhancing autonomous vehicles and robots with the ability to understand human state of mind, aiming to solve complex challenges in robotics. Its mission centered on providing AI with human intuition to read people's intentions, facilitating the safe deployment of autonomous systems. The company's flagship product, SOMAITM (State of Mind AI), was designed to help machines interpret subtle human cues, enabling them to predict actions based on gestures and posture. This technology was integrated into autonomous driving systems, assisting vehicles in navigating safely around pedestrians and cyclists. Perceptive Automata collaborated with various partners, including Hyundai Motor Company and Volvo Trucks, to advance human behavior prediction in self-driving vehicles.
