Butlr CEO featured on NYSE "Taking Stock" to give exclusive insight on the Privacy First Ambient Sensing Platform

At Butlr, we’re on a mission to redefine how people experience indoor environments—whether it's making senior living spaces safer, workplaces more efficient, or buildings more sustainable. Our CEO, Honghao Deng, gave exclusive insight on spatial intelligence and thermal sensor technology on the NYSE TV special edition "TakingStock"of the New York Stock Exchange.

Key Highlights:

‍

• Technology Overview:
  • Butler uses thermal sensors and AI to detect human activity.
  • The system emphasizes privacy by avoiding traditional camera-based surveillance and instead uses temperature data to infer location and posture without recording visual data.

‍

• Privacy and Adaptability:
  • Butlr's occupancy sensors are privacy-friendly, processing data on the hardware edge to ensure no camera footage or visual intrusion.
  • The technology adapts to the evolving landscape by providing "ambient awareness," focusing on building environments as interactive spaces.

‍

• Applications:
  • In senior living spaces, the technology can predict and prevent incidents like falls by analyzing movement patterns and environmental factors.
  • Broader applications include creating "touch-sensitive" building environments to enhance user interaction and improve safety.

‍

• ‍Vision for the Future:
  • Integrating sensing as a baseline infrastructure for buildings.
  • This would create privacy-friendly, deployable platforms capable of generating advanced spatial intelligence.

About Butlr

Butlr is an MIT Media Lab spinout that fuses artificial intelligence with body heat sensing technology to build patented sensors and an anonymous people-sensing platform. Using thermal insights, Butlr technology understands subtle movements in a space, accurately discerns activity, occupancy, indoor location, and body posture yet is purposely designed to be incapable of capturing personally identifiable information. Butlr spatial insights are used by some of the world’s largest companies in hospitality, senior living, health care, commercial real estate, retail, and public transportation to inform decisions regarding space occupancy and utilization, user experiences, patient safety, compliance, staffing, and ensuring buildings are operating with high efficiency and sustainability. These customers include Verizon, Netflix, Carrier, Microsoft, and CBRE. For more information, visit www.butlr.com
