I got my start with entrepreneurship at 8 years old, when I grew a blog about Club Penguin to 250,000 visitors. I've had a few other gigs since then, and I grew a strong passion for machine learning which became the basis for Technician.
Company Launches
tl;dr: Robots produce a lot of data, and it’s a challenge to collect and manage all of it. Our infrastructure enables companies to easily collect, offload, and make use of sensor data.
Howdy, YC! I’m Alec Bell from SensorSurf. I love robots, and I’m writing software to make it easier to build them.
❌ Problem
Robots generate absurd quantities of data. A single self-driving car produces up to 1.5 petabytes/year (source). Developers need access to this data to diagnose issues, train models, and run simulations; but it’s hard to get a hold of since its clunky and sits on an edge device. Robotics companies currently build data infra in-house, which is extremely costly.
✅ Solution
SensorSurf offers the infrastructure to collect, offload, and make use of sensor data. Users can specify where, when, and what data to collect. From there, they can selectively offload it, run queries on it, visualize it, and put it to work for purposes like debugging, annotation, and analytics.
👨💻 How it works
Robotics companies install a tiny agent on their robots, which allows us to establish a connection to our services and observe their system. We can then collect data across a fleet of robots and help users manage/search it in the cloud, accounting for network constraints that our customers may experience.
