O que Bucket Robotics faz

Bucket Robotics builds deployable computer vision systems for manufacturing - without labeling, long pilots, or fragile rules. We turn CAD and sample data into production-ready vision models that run on existing cameras and edge hardware. No manual labeling. No cold-start problem. Models deploy in minutes and adapt as parts, defects, and lines change. Our roots are in self-driving cars (Argo AI, Uber ATG, Stack AV), where we learned how to ship perception systems that operators trust in messy, real-world environments. We’re applying that playbook to factories: robust sensing, fast iteration, and tooling engineers actually enjoy using. Manufacturers struggle with inspection because parts are too variable for rules-based vision and too expensive to inspect by hand. Legacy systems are rigid, hardware-locked, and slow to customize. We take the opposite approach: software-first vision that fits into existing automation and scales across SKUs, facilities, and workflows. American Manufacturing is in the middle of a $700B automation push - but quality is still a trust problem. Bucket Robotics is building the vision infrastructure that lets factories automate inspection with confidence.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Defect detection for manufacturing

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build computer vision systems for manufacturing that detect defects using CAD files and synthetic data instead of manual labels. Our models run on existing cameras and edge hardware and deploy within minutes. They adapt to changes in parts, defects, and production lines without long pilots or fragile rules.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA and plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is our current home and where our industry and potential customers cluster. Staying here keeps us close to manufacturing automation leaders and talent.
