5. Dawn Robotics specializes in enabling machines to understand real world environments through augmented reality. Their core technology "Glyph" allows for both real-time deformable surface tracking while embedding metadata. The insights the machine derives from "Glyph" directly allow for an understanding of how to interact with objects both dimensionally and functionally. Dawn Robotics offers robotic texture swapping, deformation tracking, animated clothing, and human demonstration, to transfer knowledge from the robot to the environment.

We are looking forward to seeing what strides these companies make in 2023!
