Seeing Machines (AIM:SEE), the AIM-listed computer vision company focused on transport safety, has secured an Advanced Development Contract with a global industrial technology company specialising in factory automation and human-robot interaction.
The deal builds on the Company's Perception Map technology, first showcased at CES 2026, which applies Human-Centred AI to help machines interpret human behaviour and intent across operational settings.
The initial program will produce a robotics proof-of-concept for a factory automation environment, intended as a springboard for wider collaboration across industrial automation and robotics.
Seeing Machines built its core technology on driver monitoring systems for the automotive, commercial fleet, off-road and aviation markets, tracking where a driver looks and classifying cognitive states tied to accident risk.
This contract extends that expertise beyond vehicles into industrial robotics.
"By combining more than 25 years of Human Factors expertise with advanced AI, we are helping machines better understand people, anticipate risk and enable safer, more intuitive human-machine experiences," said Paul McGlone, Chief Executive Officer.
McGlone added that the company looks forward to exploring further opportunities with the customer as the development program progresses.
News Intelligence what this means for the company
Seeing Machines has won an Advanced Development Contract with an unnamed global industrial technology company to apply its Human-Centred AI and Perception Map technology to factory automation and human-robot interaction, with an initial proof-of-concept for a factory environment. The deal marks the company's first material step beyond its core automotive driver monitoring business into industrial robotics, but the contract is structured as a development phase rather than a production commitment, and no financial terms or timeline have been disclosed.
This contract validates the portability of Seeing Machines' core human-behaviour-interpretation technology beyond vehicles, but without disclosed contract value, production timeline, or customer identity, it remains a proof-of-concept rather than a revenue driver. The company's near-term focus remains automotive royalties and Guardian aftermarket services, where it expects positive adjusted EBITDA in H2 FY2026; industrial robotics is a longer-term optionality play.
