Founded in 2016 by someone involved in the transformation of manufacturing in the 1990s as the leader of the team at General Motors (NYSE: GM) that created the worlds first collaborative robots (cobots) - advanced robotics that safely amplify workers physical capabilities. The focus of Drishti is this time to engage advances in computer vision with the effort being to put people at the center of the next industrial revolution: to extend human capabilities in an increasingly automated world - augmenting human agility and judgment with cognitive assistance from AI,
