Kognic

Kognic is a Swedish company founded in 2018 in Gothenburg that builds data annotation and validation infrastructure for autonomous driving and robotics. The company addresses the challenge automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers face when converting raw multi-sensor data into machine learning-ready training and validation datasets.

The platform ingests camera, LiDAR and radar streams and applies automated pre-labeling alongside more than 90 automated quality checkers before human review. It is offered as a managed service, a licensed platform, or a hybrid model, and is used by automakers and Tier-1 suppliers including BMW, Continental, Bosch and Zenseact to build perception and planning datasets.
