I showed tools we're building at @roboto_ai to help: 1️⃣ Signal similarity search for pattern detection 2️⃣ Vision-language models for event annotation 3️⃣ AI summarization for faster triage And a sneak peek of an AI agent that debugs robot logs on its own 🤖 @OpenRoboticsOrg

Can AI help debug a drone crash? 🤔✈️ Like all robots, drones generate massive amounts of multimodal log data every mission. These logs are essential for diagnosing issues, but reviewing them is complex and time-consuming....🧵

This isn't just about better tools. It's about velocity. The teams that master their data can iterate, debug, and deploy updates in hours, not weeks. They can build smarter, safer AI because they can actually learn from their mistakes at scale. The future of robotics isn't

Every robot you see is a data firehose generating terabytes of chaos. This hidden crisis is the #1 reason robots fail, and it's costing the industry billions. You see hardware, but not the data swamp drowning engineers. In 2025, a quiet revolution is fixing it. Here’s how. 🧵

Managing & analysing robotics data is a paaaaaiiinnnn. Have a look at this tool: [📍Bookmark GitHub python skd for later] Analyzing robotics data at scale is still a major challenge. Most teams start with manual log reviews. But as systems grow, that approach becomes slow and
