What Algorized does
Algorized is a Swiss deep-tech company, founded in 2023 and headquartered in Etoy (Canton of Vaud) with a U.S. engineering hub in Campbell, California, that builds a proprietary edge-AI foundation model for real-time human perception using existing wireless radio-frequency sensors. The company's software-defined, sensor-agnostic stack performs on-device multi-modal sensor fusion across UWB, mmWave, and Wi-Fi signals to detect human presence, classify entities (human vs. robot vs. asset), measure micro-motion and vital signs (breathing and heart rate), and predict intent — running at the edge with sub-100ms latency and no cloud dependency. Its product portfolio is anchored by the Predictive Safety Engine (debuted with KUKA at CES 2026 to enable high-speed human-robot collaboration), the Multi-Modal People Sensing Software Platform (launched at CES 2025, fusing radar with computer vision), the Human-Machine Interaction Engine (CES 2026), and an automotive in-cabin sensing application (child presence detection and vital sign monitoring with Qorvo UWB). The foundation model has been validated across silicon from Qorvo, Texas Instruments (IWR6843AOP, SIL2-aligned), ASUS IoT (PE1100N with NVIDIA Jetson Orin), and Asahi Kasei Microdevices (AK581xAIM), enabling Algorized to ship its perception stack directly into OEM and Tier-1 reference designs.
Algorized monetizes primarily through software licensing and embedded OEM/AIoT distribution: its edge-AI stack is licensed to industrial robotics OEMs (KUKA), bundled onto validated IoT edge platforms (ASUS AIoT Alliance Program), and co-distributed through semiconductor partner programs (Qorvo UWB, Texas Instruments, AKM). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based, tied to deployment scope in enterprise commercial engagements with Tier-1 manufacturers and automotive suppliers in Europe and the U.S. Target segments include industrial robotics and automation (primary), automotive in-cabin sensing for OEMs and Tier-1s (primary), elderly care and continuous health monitoring (secondary), smart infrastructure/occupancy analytics (secondary), and consumer electronics and IoT (secondary). The company was founded by CEO Natalya Lopareva, originating from research at ZHAW (University of Zurich) on through-wall human detection, and is supported by a cumulative $17.3M raised across a $4.3M seed (Nov 2024, led by Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund) and a $13M Series A (Feb 2026, led by Run Ventures).

Product offeringCore offering
Algorized develops a proprietary edge-AI foundation model — a software-only, sensor-agnostic stack that performs real-time multi-modal sensor fusion on raw radio signals (UWB, mmWave, Wi-Fi) to perceive human presence, vital signs, posture, and intent through obstacles. The company packages this model into sellable products including the Predictive Safety Engine for industrial robotics (debuted with KUKA at CES 2026), the Multi-Modal People Sensing Software Platform, the Human-Machine Interaction Engine, and an In-Cabin Sensing module for automotive child-presence detection. The software is embedded directly into partner hardware platforms (Qorvo UWB chips, Texas Instruments mmWave radar, ASUS IoT PE1100N, AKM AK581xAIM).
Product overview
Algorized sells a single unified Physical AI perception stack anchored by a proprietary Edge-AI Foundation Model (People-Sensing Foundational Model) that powers a portfolio of named offerings: the Predictive Safety Engine (the lead industrial-robotics product debuted with KUKA at CES 2026), the Multi-Modal People Sensing Software Platform (the broader sensing platform launched at CES 2025 and now superseded in branding by the Human-Machine Interaction Engine), and the In-Cabin Sensing application (automotive child-presence and vital-sign monitoring demonstrated with Qorvo at CES 2024). The foundation model itself runs validated on partner hardware (Qorvo UWB, Texas Instruments IWR6843AOP mmWave, ASUS IoT PE1100N with NVIDIA Jetson Orin, and Asahi Kasei Microdevices AK581xAIM mmWave), turning existing wireless-sensor infrastructure into real-time, edge-native human perception with sub-100 ms latency.

Algorized competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Vayyar Imaging: Vayyar Imaging develops radar-on-chip and AI-based 4D imaging sensors for people detection, vital-sign monitoring, automotive in-cabin sensing, and elderly care fall detection — the closest direct competitor to Algorized in radio-physics-based people sensing. Both target automotive OEMs, industrial safety, and senior care verticals with privacy-preserving radar perception.
- Smart Radar System: Smart Radar System builds AI-driven mmWave radar perception solutions for in-cabin automotive sensing, industrial safety, and gesture recognition. Direct overlap with Algorized on radar-based people detection, vital-sign monitoring, and embedded edge-AI software stacks.
- ARIA Sensing: ARIA Sensing is a confirmed Algorized partner developing AI UWB radar technology for presence detection and positioning. It is the most directly comparable UWB-radar + AI software peer, though at a smaller scale than Algorized's broader mmWave and Wi-Fi footprint.
Broad incumbents
- SICK AG: SICK AG is a German industrial sensor incumbent with deep market share in factory safety scanners, LiDAR, and proximity sensors used around industrial robots. As robotics safety becomes AI-enabled, SICK is a potential competitor or partner relative to Algorized's Predictive Safety Engine for human-robot collaboration.
- Keyence Corporation: Keyence is a global leader in industrial sensors, machine vision systems, and safety equipment for factory automation. It competes indirectly with Algorized by offering established vision-based people-detection solutions in industrial settings and would represent a major incumbent if Algorized expands beyond KUKA into broader Tier-1 accounts.
- Infineon Technologies (XENSIV radar): Infineon supplies XENSIV 60GHz radar chips and increasingly bundles software for people-sensing and vital-sign detection in automotive and IoT. As a competitor to TI mmWave plus Algorized's stack, Infineon represents both an alternative silicon platform and a potential vertically-integrated competitor.
- Pilz GmbH & Co. KG: Pilz is a European leader in industrial safety automation including safe radar/LiDAR scanners used around collaborative robots. As Algorized's Predictive Safety Engine goes to market with KUKA and others, Pilz represents the entrenched safety-controller incumbent whose safety ecosystems new entrants must integrate with or displace.
- Cognex Corporation: Cognex is a global leader in machine vision and industrial barcode reading, increasingly adding AI-based people and object detection to factory automation. It overlaps with Algorized on vision-augmented multi-modal sensing in industrial robotics and smart infrastructure settings.
Emerging players
- Arbe Robotics: Arbe Robotics develops high-resolution 4D imaging radar with embedded perception software for automotive ADAS and autonomous driving. It overlaps with Algorized's automotive in-cabin and industrial sensing ambitions at the radar-perception layer, though Arbe focuses on exterior automotive use cases.
- Edge Impulse: Edge Impulse (now part of Qualcomm) provides a development platform for edge AI/ML on microcontrollers and sensors including radar. It is comparable to Algorized as an enabling edge-AI platform for sensor-fusion and on-device perception across industrial and IoT use cases.
