Alloy Raises $8M Seed Led by Square Peg To Build The Debugging Layer for Robotics

Robotics sells machines that work around the clock and quietly employs some of the best engineers alive to work out why they stopped. When a robot fails in the field, the investigation can consume days and sometimes weeks inside log files, dashboards and custom scripts, and the bitter part is how often the fault turns out to be one the team has already diagnosed, because the more robots a company runs, the more its failures rhyme.
