Bucket Robotics

Bucket Robotics is revolutionizing manufacturing through the deployment of advanced computer vision systems. Their innovative approach eliminates the need for manual labeling, lengthy pilot programs, and inflexible rule-based systems. By leveraging CAD data and sample data, they create production-ready vision models that seamlessly integrate with existing cameras and edge hardware. This eliminates the cold-start problem and enables rapid model deployment, adapting quickly to changes in parts, defects, and production lines.

Drawing upon experience in the self-driving car industry (Argo AI, Uber ATG, Stack AV), Bucket Robotics applies proven strategies for building reliable perception systems in complex, real-world environments. Their focus is on robust sensing, rapid iteration, and providing engineers with user-friendly tools.

Manufacturers face significant challenges in inspection due to part variability, the limitations of rules-based vision, and the high cost of manual inspection. Legacy systems are often rigid, hardware-dependent, and slow to customize. Bucket Robotics offers a software-first vision solution that integrates with existing automation infrastructure and scales across various SKUs, facilities, and workflows.

With American manufacturing undergoing a substantial $700 billion automation initiative, quality control remains a critical concern. Bucket Robotics is developing the essential vision infrastructure to enable factories to confidently automate inspection processes, ensuring consistent and reliable quality.
