Si-Ware Systemsappoints Dr. Luis Sentis as Independent Scientific Advisor

Si-Ware Systems, a global leader in deep-tech innovation that bridges the physical and digital worlds, has expanded its Physical AI strategy by appointing Dr. Luis Sentis as an independent Scientific Advisor. This move comes as the company continues to develop advanced sensing technologies aimed at enhancing the perception and understanding of the physical environment by intelligent machines.

Dr. Sentis, a Professor of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at the University of Texas at Austin, brings extensive expertise in advanced control and embodied intelligence to the role. His advisory will guide Si-Ware Systems as it seeks to integrate reliable, real-time perception into the next generation of smart machines. The company's focus lies in spectral sensing, sensor control, sensing fusion, and AI, with a particular emphasis on material and gas composition, condition, quality, and chemical presence.

"Si-Ware's role in Physical AI is to provide machines with an additional layer of material perception, enabling them to better understand the materials and conditions around them," said Mostafa Medhat, Chief Commercial Officer of Si-Ware Systems. "Dr. Sentis's independent perspective will be invaluable as we develop our sensing roadmap for Physical Intelligence applications."

Dr. Sentis echoed Medhat's sentiments, stating, "Reliable information about the physical world is fundamental to how intelligent systems make decisions. Si-Ware Systems' spectral sensing solutions may offer insights into composition, condition, and the presence of substances that other machine senses might miss. I am excited to contribute to the company's exploration of these capabilities."

Dr. Luis Sentis has a distinguished career, having previously served as the Chair of Good Systems and co-founder of Apptronik and AIVE. His research at the University of Texas at Austin centers on human-centered intelligent systems, with a focus on advanced control, embodied intelligence, and Physical Intelligence. He earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University and received the NASA Elite Team Award for his contributions at NASA's Johnson Space Center.

Si-Ware Systems aims to leverage Dr. Sentis's expertise to enhance its Physical AI and material intelligence strategy, ensuring that intelligent machines can better understand the physical world. The company's advanced sensing technologies will support the development of more sophisticated and reliable smart machines, which can operate more effectively in a wide range of environments.

Si-Ware Systems is dedicated to delivering integrated sensing solutions that bridge the physical and digital worlds, combining sensors, devices, software, and system-level intelligence to create ready-to-deploy products and custom-developed solutions.
