Ember Robotics: Camera diagnostics for robots

Reducing vision failures from the source

tldr; Got camera problems? We’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 us at founders@emberrobotics.com!

The problem

We’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)

Our 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 our service, and get fast metrics on camera health.

Hi, we are Shivani & Ritika! We built software at Tesla Autopilot to optimize camera performance for autonomy. We’ve covered the camera stack end-to-end (low-latency image capture, real-time camera monitoring, online camera calibration, multi-trip reconstruction, and SLAM) - we’re passionate about helping robots see!

If you know anyone working on robots, drones, or other multi-camera systems (surveillance, manufacturing, etc.) we would love a warm intro.

And for those who are just generally robot-curious - always happy to chat!
