Launch HN: Polymath Robotics (YC S22) – General autonomy for industrial vehicles

Hey HN, I’m Stefan, one of the founders of Polymath Robotics ( https://www.polymathrobotics.com ) and formerly of Starsky Robotics (YC S16). My co-founder is Ilia Baranov, a career roboticist. We’re building general autonomy software for industrial vehicles. We’ve just come out of stealth with a full autonomy stack freely available in sim online. Whether it’s a tractor on a farm or a 400t dump truck in a mine, we make it easy for you to make it driverless. Where before you would need an industrial vehicle, $25-150k in sensors + compute, and 6-18 months of building time, now you can start building applications that command autonomous robots right away. See a demo here: https://www.loom.com/share/852d54744d45452d926b9016f61f5e43 . Two big things are hard about automating industrial vehicles: first, robotics is deceptively hard. But also, industry is nitpicky. These two together are too much for most startups. That is, if you put all your energy into the firs
