Launch YC: Ember Robotics: Datadog for Robots

"Fast-track your robotics development"

tldr; At Ember, they make it easy for robotics teams to catch and fix issues fast. Their edge-first robot diagnostics platform helps you stay on top of system performance—whether you're prototyping, scaling, or deploying in the field.

With instant insights and built-in reliability, they help you move faster, build smarter, and launch with confidence.

Founded by Shivani Mouleeswaran & Ritika Shrivastava

They built software at Simbe Robotics and Tesla Autopilot to optimize robot reliability—covering real-time diagnostics, sensor calibration, field service alerts, and low-latency data pipelines. From early R&D to fleet-scale deployment, they ensure robots stay operational, efficient, and ready for any environment.

The problem

  1. No Visibility in Low-Network Zones – When robots lose connectivity, cloud-based diagnostics fail, making it hard to track performance or troubleshoot failures in real time.
  2. Slow, Costly Root-Cause Analysis – Debugging is painful, with teams sifting through dense logs and complex graphs instead of getting clear, actionable insights.
  3. Inefficient DIY Monitoring Stacks – Robotics teams waste months building custom diagnostics because existing tools don’t work for their needs.
  4. Reactive Debugging Leads to System Failures – Without proactive monitoring, small issues snowball into major downtime and expensive repairs.

The solution

🌐 Works Offline
  • Edge-first diagnostics to store and analyze data even when the network is down.
  • Smart caching & prioritized sync ensure no critical insights are lost.
🔍 Faster, Clearer Troubleshooting
  • Instant anomaly detection surfaces failures before they escalate.
  • Real-time sensor & system health analytics (cameras, IMU, LiDAR, CPU, memory).
  • No more digging through logs—just straightforward insights when you need them.
⚡ Seamless Integrations
  • Built-in Sensor Plugins & Robotics Middleware Support – Off-the-shelf support for Intel® RealSense™, Luxonis®, Orbbec®, and more. Easy integrations for ROS and e-Cal —no extra setup required.
  • Deploy in minutes with standard Linux packages—skip the custom integrations.
  • API-first design lets you access diagnostics effortlessly and extend with your own custom metrics plugins.
📈 Scale up to Fleet-Wide Monitoring
  • Grow reliably from 1 to 10,000 robots with consistent, structured data collection.
  • Identify trends & patterns across groups of sensors and devices.
  • Works in low-bandwidth environments, ensuring continuous insights.
