Sentient Vision Wins $2.1m Grant for In-House Manufacturing
27 April 2022
Melbourne Artificial Intelligence (AI) specialist Sentient Vision Systems has won a $2.1 million Australian government grant to establish a sovereign in-house manufacturing facility for its world-leading ViDAR search and surveillance pods.
The grant was awarded under the Department of Industry Science Energy and Resources’ (DISER) Modern Manufacturing Initiative (MMI) Translation Stream and will enable domestic volume manufacture of the company’s ViDAR pods for Australian and export customers.
“Winning this grant is an important step for Sentient Vision Systems,” said the company’s Managing Director and founder, Dr Paul Boxer.
“We’ve been developing software-based AI surveillance systems for nearly two decades. We’ll soon be able to manufacture our own hardware in larger quantities as well whilst maintaining control over their quality and supply for critical surveillance and safety missions.”
