Salem Robotics Software Gives Mobile Robots Industrial Inspection Capabilities
Salem_robotics · hn · 2026-08-27
Salem Robotics (YC S26) released software enabling mobile robots to perform autonomous inspections in hazardous industrial facilities. Addressing nuclear and oil & gas scenarios, the team solves complex manipulation tasks like contamination smears and valve leak detection. The system achieves joint-level control, handling complex motion planning constraints (probe normals, pipe offsets, collision avoidance) to execute precise physical interactions reliably with minimal manual intervention.
