Bucket Robotics builds deployable computer-vision systems for manufacturing quality inspection that skip the usual labeling, long pilots and brittle rules. It generates production-ready defect-detection models directly from CAD files and synthetic data, then runs them on existing factory cameras and edge hardware. The founding team came from self-driving (Argo AI, Uber ATG, Stack AV), where they learned to ship perception systems operators trust. Part of Y Combinator's Summer 2024 batch, Bucket Robotics raised a $500K pre-seed in October 2024 from Y Combinator, Lightscape Partners, Pioneer Fund and Soma Capital.
