About Us

Engineering Intelligence Into Every Surface

Advancing Human-Machine Interaction with Intelligent Sensing

CogniSense Labs is a technology innovation studio dedicated to redefining how people interact with digital surfaces. We build AI‑native sensing systems that capture the richness of human touch, pressure, force, intent, and motion, then translate it into precise, real‑time intelligence for next‑generation devices.

Our work sits at the intersection of materials science, embedded systems, and machine learning. By fusing multi‑axis sensor data with topology‑aware algorithms, we enable displays, controls, and interfaces to understand how they are being touched, not just where. The result is a new class of responsive, adaptive, and context‑aware user experiences.

Our Vision

Human–machine interaction should feel natural, expressive, and intelligent. At CogniSense Labs, we’re building the sensing foundation that makes this future possible, one contact at a time.

Our Mission

We believe technology should respond to people, not the other way around. By decoding pressure, force, motion, and intent, we enable devices to interpret touch with nuance and fidelity, creating interactions that feel natural, fluid, and emotionally resonant.

We push the boundaries of materials science, embedded systems, and AI to build sensing architectures that are more capable, more scalable, and more adaptive than anything available today. Our work turns passive surfaces into active participants in the user experience.

From automotive to medical devices, robotics to consumer electronics, we equip OEMs and product teams with sensing platforms that unlock new design possibilities, improve safety, and enable differentiated user experiences. Our mission is to be the technical backbone behind the world’s most advanced interfaces.

why choose us

We wrote the book on intelligent surfaces using sigma-delta technologies.

We Build Intelligence Into Every Surface

CogniSense Labs was founded on the belief that touch should be understood, not just detected. Our AI‑native sensing architecture captures pressure, force, motion, and intent with extraordinary fidelity—giving our partners capabilities that redefine what digital surfaces can do

We Engineer for the Real World, Not the Lab

Our team blends deep R&D expertise with decades of experience in manufacturing, compliance, and productization. Every solution we deliver is designed to scale, survive harsh environments, and meet the rigorous standards of automotive, medical, industrial, and consumer markets.

We Co‑Develop With You, Not Around You

We don’t hand over a generic sensor and walk away. We collaborate closely with OEMs and product teams to tailor sensing architectures, mechanical integration, firmware, and AI models to their exact requirements. Your product vision becomes the blueprint for our engineering.

We Unlock New Interaction Possibilities

Our technology transforms passive surfaces into intelligent, expressive interfaces, enabling pressure‑aware displays, adaptive controls, safety‑critical systems, and entirely new HMI experiences. We help our partners differentiate through features and better interaction design.
