janakpanthi··on Launch HN: Salem Robotics (YC S26) – Software for industrial inspection robots
Very interesting. We’ve for sure felt the pain of large robotics images and slow deployments, especially when CUDA and ML dependencies are involved, or when adding a seemingly small ROS package pulls a long chain of transitive dependencies. The file-level deduplication approach is clever. Curious how transparent it is to existing Docker/OCI workflows. Does it require any changes to the client, or it mostly sits underneath the existing tooling?

Remote video streaming is relevant. Please free to send us an email.

Thanks, YC launches have helped quite a bit with drawing attention. We're hoping HN will pronounce it more.

Boston Dynamics vs Salem Statics, haha. Seriously though, we are very complimentary to BD, since Spot is one of the platforms we deploy on.

Cofounder here. we're based in Austin, TX, but yes, the name alludes to Salem MA. We're bringing inanimate objects to life through robotics, haha.
