About Bucket Robotics

Bucket Robotics is bringing autonomous vehicle technology expertise to manufacturing quality control, developing AI-powered computer vision inspection systems that transform how factories ensure product quality. Founded by veterans who spent over a decade advancing self-driving technology at Argo AI, Uber ATG, and Stack AV, the company applies that hard-won expertise in perception, synthetic data, and edge AI to industrial inspection challenges. Their flagship product, Bucket CAD Studio, revolutionizes the traditional approach to machine vision deployment by enabling manufacturers to upload STEP files, configure tolerances, and deploy inspection systems immediately without the traditional requirement for thousands of labeled images. The system uses synthetic data generation to simulate defects directly from CAD files, training robust inspection models before physical production even begins. This approach dramatically reduces the time and cost typically associated with deploying vision-based quality control systems. Bucket CAD Studio can be deployed across edge devices, cloud infrastructure, or on-premises servers depending on security and latency requirements. The company positions itself as building AI that sees like an engineer, understanding the geometric relationships and tolerances that matter in manufacturing quality control rather than simply pattern-matching against examples. Associated with Y Combinator, Bucket Robotics represents a growing trend of autonomous vehicle talent transitioning to industrial applications where the technology can be deployed more rapidly and with clearer paths to value creation.
