Alloy Robotics

Robotics teams are drowning in their own data. Terabytes of images, logs, and 10 kHz time-series. 99% of it never gets looked at. Incident reports take days. Root-cause analysis is manual. Most teams burn 50–80 % of engineering time just trying to find the failure. We built Alloy to end that. Alloy is the first platform that lets you search years of robot data in natural language, in seconds. “Show me every gripper slip when IMU Z-accel > 4 g in salty air" → exact video clips + sensor slices + logs instantly. No labeling. No scripting. No 1.3 GB MCAPs in Slack. Tesla & Amazon built this internally. We're bringing that level of observability to the rest of the world. We've raised $4.5M pre-seed from Blackbird, Airtree, Skip, Xtal and angels at Tesla, Waymo, OpenAI. And we're just getting started.

Advanced Navigation just became Australia's FIRST deep tech unicorn with their $158M Series C. We've been working behind the scenes with their validation team ... To cut down 1 day of analysis down to 10 minutes. This is the future of hardware debugging 🤖 Case study is live now: usealloy.ai/blog-advanced-…

Today, we’re launching Try Alloy. The future of robotics is an AI that uncovers the insights hidden in your logs. Ask any complex question, and get detailed answers with references from your data. Live now:

2026 is a terrible time to build a robotics company. Imagine building a software company without AWS, Stripe, or GitHub. Everything from scratch. That's robotics today. Most robotics teams waste their first 6–12 months rebuilding the same data infrastructure, telemetry, internal tools, pipelines. None of it is core IP. I started @AlloyRobotics to SPEEDRUN all of it. A modern stack so robotics teams can iterate 10x faster than their competition. If you're building in this space, lets talk.

@lukas_m_ziegler Also using ROS here - would love to be added to the list🤖

To ROS or not to ROS? 🤨 That's the ultimate question. Fortunately, I have a ready answer. A public list of robotics companies that use ROS/ROS 2 to develop products, provide services, or include ROS in their shipped products. It’s a map of who is building real robots on a common stack. And if you’ve worked in robotics, you know how much that matters. That’s why this list is useful for multiple groups: → Recruiters can use it to target companies likely hiring ROS engineers (C++/Python, Nav2, MoveIt, perception, simulation). → Robotics software vendors get a “compatibility signal” — ROS companies are usually the easiest to integrate with. → System integrators can spot where ROS 2 migration, fleet tooling, perception/navigation upgrades are realistic projects. → Investors / venture capitalists can use it as a quick technical diligence shortcut and sector map. .. or you can just use it and see where you can land a job mastering ROS :) @OpenRoboticsOrg let's make this one fly to make robotics more mainstream! 🔥 Here's the link and huge kudos to the create (couldn't find him on X): github.com/vmayoral/ros-r… ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news → ziegler.substack.com

I left a $600M ARR company to build robots. But after speaking with 30+ robotics founders, they all confessed the #1 reason robots fail: Data overwhelm. Its costing the industry billions, and here's why we raised $4.5m to change that. 🧵
