Jerusalem, 11 November, 2021 (TPS) — Percepto, an Israeli company pioneering autonomous inspection with industrial robotics, has been named one of TIME’s 100 Best Inventions of 2021 in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) category.
“It is truly an honor to receive this award from TIME, a great and respected media brand for nearly a hundred years,” said Percepto CEO Dor Abuhasira. “Percepto created a new paradigm for industrial facility inspection by integrating AI and autonomous robot management with advanced visual data analysis. Being on this list is a testament to this accomplishment, and we thank the editors and staff at TIME for this recognition.”

To assemble the 2021 list, TIME solicited nominations from its editors and correspondents around the world, as well as through an online application process. TIME then evaluated each contender on a number of key factors, including originality, creativity, efficacy, ambition and impact. The result was a list including an innovative, eco-friendly dye for jeans, a novel pasta shape, and groundbreaking vaccines for COVID-19 and malaria.
