tldr; Fast-track your robotics development

At Ember, we make it easy for robotics teams to catch and fix issues fast. Our edge-first robot diagnostics platform helps you stay on top of system performanceā€”whether you're prototyping, scaling, or deploying in the field.

With instant insights and built-in reliability, we help you move faster, build smarter, and launch with confidence. Ready to try it out? Book a demoĀ hereĀ or reach out to us atĀ founders@emberrobotics.com!

The problem

  1. No Visibility in Low-Network Zones ā€“ 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 ā€“ Debugging is painful, with teams sifting through dense logs and complex graphs instead of getting clear, actionable insights.
  3. Inefficient DIY Monitoring Stacks ā€“ Robotics teams waste months building custom diagnostics because existing tools donā€™t work for their needs.
  4. Reactive Debugging Leads to System Failures ā€“ Without proactive monitoring, small issues snowball into major downtime and expensive repairs.

Our solution

šŸŒ 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.

šŸ” 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 logsā€”just straightforward insights when you need them.

āš” Seamless Integrations

  • Built-in Sensor Plugins & Robotics Middleware Support ā€“ Off-the-shelf support for IntelĀ® RealSenseā„¢, LuxonisĀ®, OrbbecĀ®, and more. Easy integrations for ROS and e-Cal ā€”no extra setup required.
  • Deploy in minutes with standard Linux packagesā€”skip the custom integrations.
  • API-first design lets you access diagnostics effortlessly and extend with your own custom metrics plugins.

šŸ“ˆ 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.
