Ember Robotics recently launched!
"Reducing vision failures from the source."
tldr; Got camera problems? They’ve got solutions.
Ember builds software to monitor and resolve robot camera issues - so you can reduce vision failures from the source.
Is robot camera reliability or degraded vision driving you nuts? Book a demo here or reach out to them here.
Founded by Shivani Mouleeswaran & Ritika Shrivastava -- they built software at Tesla Autopilot to optimize camera performance for autonomy. They’ve covered the camera stack end-to-end (low-latency image capture, real-time camera monitoring, online camera calibration, multi-trip reconstruction, and SLAM) - you could say they’re passionate about helping robots see!
The problem
They’ve spent years working on vision systems for autonomous robots and found similar issues everywhere:
- Robotics companies work on lean teams that have to do lots of things super fast - hardware reliability is often secondary to core product features
- Camera failures cause large fires because they float up the stack to critically damage perception, controls, and safety
- Digging through layers of software / hardware to figure out what went wrong is painful (ex. sometimes you spend hours goose-chasing a “perception issue” just to find a loose cable)
Their solution
A camera diagnostics framework that ties in real-time data, logs, and reports to contextualize your robot’s vision health. Support the full life-cycle of your robot with features like:
✅ Out-of-the-box tracking for common issues (disconnection, frame drops, time sync)
💬 Automated suggestions for error resolution
⏱️ Real-time alerts
🖌️ Image quality analysis tools to optimize computer vision
📈 Historical data analysis for predictive maintenance
Try it out: Plug-and-play camera testing
Bench-test cameras or diagnose issues in the field with one easy tool. Fill a config file, launch the service, and get fast metrics on camera health.
demo
They currently support Intel® RealSense™ D400 cameras and ROS - more cameras and pub-sub models coming soon!
