Gestoos is a company wholly owned by PreAct Technologies Inc. that delivers the world’s first Artificial Intelligence flash LiDAR sensors and a Generative AI Cloud solution. Affordable, compact, and designed to function in various use cases, PreAct’s sensors offer solutions in industries including automotive, trucking, robotics, healthcare, agriculture, smart cities, and industrial applications. Currently, the company develops and sells complete systems packaged as products addressing distinct markets. The Gestoos Creator is a powerful Computer Vision platform for creating AI models to detect human activity, objects, and a combination of both. A software development kit (SDK) is included that supports users to visualize the data in real time, store data, and work with it using either their code or specialized tools provided by the company. One unique aspect of the SDK is that it includes an AI development platform optimized for the sensor’s 3D output, thus enabling AI algorithms to be quickly developed with minimal training. Initially renowned for their work in the automotive industry, PreAct’s innovative technology was first inspired by their goal to save the millions of lives lost in automotive crashes each year. This mission focus drove the development of the extraordinary speed and accuracy of PreAct’s near-field sensor systems. The SDK can control the sensor directly and serves as the gateway to the company’s cloud service, maintaining software-defined features and providing a data structure supporting AI training and data mining. Founded in 2018, PreAct arose from more than 15 years of DARPA-funded research in high-speed optics and computing systems and a significant investment from Artis Corporation, the leading US provider of active protection systems for the military. PreAct is led by seasoned experts, with the engineering team composed of computer vision, optics, and parallel processing leaders. The company is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, USA.
