What this episode covers

Adrian Macneil, co-founder and CEO of Foxglove, discusses the company's open-source visualization and debugging tool for robotics, which spun out from his time at Cruise. He explains how Foxglove Studio addresses the limitations of RViz by offering cross-platform support and handling massive sensor data logs via WebGL and WebAssembly. Macneil also details the company's recent $3.7 million seed funding, its strategy of providing a free open-source core with a commercial data platform for collaboration, and his advice for early-stage hardware founders.

    Episode 123: Standardising robot programming - Nick Thompson

    Nick Thompson, CEO of BOW, explains how his company’s SDK abstracts the complexity of robot programming by providing a unified, hardware-agnostic layer that works across simulation and real-world hardware. He details how BOW complements ROS by handling low-level communication and inverse kinematics, allowing developers to write applications that are decoupled from specific robot form factors like quadrupeds or drones. Thompson highlights a key use case with the ORE Catapult’s Cyrus project, where BOW unifies aerial, underwater, and surface vessels for offshore wind inspection, and outlines plans for an App Store marketplace to monetize reusable robotic skills.

    S6E40 Matt Puchalski | Vision Inspection, Autonomous Vehicles, & Graduating Y Combinator

    Matt Puchalski, founder and CEO of Bucket Robotics, explains how his Y Combinator-backed startup uses synthetic data generated from STEP files to automate visual inspection in manufacturing, bypassing the need for physical 'golden samples.' He contrasts this approach with legacy systems from Keyence and Cognex, highlighting how starting from CAD models allows for rapid simulation of good and bad parts. Puchalski also shares his background in autonomous vehicles at Argo AI and Latitude AI, discussing the unique reliability challenges of deploying Level 4 AVs and how those lessons inform his current work in flexible manufacturing.

    274: Swiss Knife of Embedded Systems

    Ivan Kravets, founder of PlatformIO, explains how his open-source toolchain simplifies embedded development by providing a unified build system, library registry, and debugger that works across multiple IDEs and operating systems. He discusses the platform's architecture, which allows developers to switch between frameworks like Arduino and mbed with minimal configuration changes, and highlights the benefits of its unified debugging engine. Kravets also shares insights from the RISC-V Summit, noting Western Digital's adoption of RISC-V for custom controllers and the growing commercial viability of open-source processor architectures.
