Humanising Autonomy is building the global standard of how autonomous systems interact with people. Using AI and machine learning, its software can predict pedestrian, cyclist and other vulnerable road user behaviour and intent in real-time to improve the safety of global mobility systems
Raised $5.3 million in investment
Accelerated and powered the rate at which predictive models could be trained
Enabled the hire of a new full-time employee (a 20% increase in human power)
Facilitated collaboration with other AI businesses and startups
Opened doors for new opportunities in the manufacturing industry
Humanising Autonomy has been part of the following Digital Catapult programmes:

“Digital Catapult gave us the freedom to be able to experiment and figure things out. Being part of a network meant that we could collaborate with others, in addition to giving us access to key computational resources on the cloud in the early stages of our company.”
Humanising Autonomy has recently pivoted its products into the manufacturing sector with guidance from Digital Catapult’s Machine Intelligence Garage programme. The judging panel commented that after raising $5.3 million in investment, it is now building the global standard for how autonomous systems interact with people.
Humanising Autonomy develops AI enabled software that is able to predict pedestrian, cyclist and other vulnerable road user behaviour and intent in real-time to improve the safety and efficiency of global mobility systems. The technology combines AI-powered computer vision and behavioural psychology to understand the full, nuanced range of human behaviour, and is able to predict the intentions of pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users across cities worldwide.
As one of the early cohorts of Machine Intelligence Garage, Digital Catapult provided access to key computational resources in the early stages of Humanising Autonomy for data storage, training models, and client access via API, as well as access to potential corporate clients through industry-specific scoping workshops.
