POV: You're an engineering manager prioritizing work for your team. How do you get confidence that their work will actually move the needle? Most days, you’re choosing between a dozen competing “likely suspects.” And unless you have an analyst ready to spelunk through logs, you’re still making the call on imperfect information. But imagine if you had views that showed you objectively where every delay or instability in your system actually comes from. What would you change if you could: ⚪ See how a single anomaly cascades through planning and actuation ⚪ Trace latency to its exact point of origin, not just where it surfaces ⚪ Know which engineering interventions create measurable improvement ⚪ Understand how your system functions in reality, not just based on the happy path system diagram Suddenly, prioritizing work wouldn’t feel like educated guesswork. You could reallocate engineering hours with confidence, because you’d know exactly which changes moves the needle and by how much. For robotics teams spread thin, that kind of clarity isn’t a luxury. It’s a competitive advantage. If you’re staring at gigabytes of robot data and still can’t reliably answer the questions that matter, we can help.

“Objects don’t have to be a physical thing — They can be a finite state machine inside a robot. They can be a state within that finite state machine. They can be a class in software that you track as an individual object.” Jeff Ciesielski gave an electric presentation at the Boston Hardware Meetup on Thursday, sharing how LeafLabs is redefining process intelligence for robotics. If you're having a hard time tracing root causes through the layers of your stack, we're here to help eliminate the unknowns that keep your team stuck. We'd love to show you how. Thanks so much to Mike Stone, David Anderson, Nate Padgett, Jami Friedman Leonelli and NexPCB + PartsBox for joining forces and a great night!

Today's the day! Boston Hardware Meetup at 6pm @ LeafLabs HQ (📍1280 Cambridge Street, Cambridge) See you there? 👀🍻

We are pumped to be hosting the 60th Boston Hardware Meetup! We are bringing together hardware professionals to network, share knowledge, and support each other and the larger hardware ecosystem. 🗓️ THIS THURSDAY 11/13, 6-9 pm 📍 LeafLabs HQ: 1280 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, MA 📢 Join to hear guest presentations by: Allan Sadun, LeafLabs Jaguar Kristeller, NexPCB David McCloskey + Marco Cross, Alogus Innovation & Design Sponsorship by NexPCB and PartsBox, partnership by informal https://luma.com/ob8icwbm

🥁 we've said it before and we'll say it again 🥁 Robots 🤝 event-emitting systems 🤝 Celonis

Huge congrats to the Pickle Robot Company team, so well deserved! 👏

In robotics, every system improvement starts with a hypothesis: “If we tune this control loop or optimize this pipeline, performance will improve.” But there’s no easy way to prove it. Even in highly instrumented systems, the link between low-level control changes and high-level ROI metrics is murky at best. And while robots create GBs of data every day, most of it goes unused. It's trapped in logs, scattered across subsystems, and too unstructured to translate into actionable insight. In partnership with Celonis, we make those invisible relationships visible. Leveraging Celonis' leadership in process mining and their just-announced AI-based platform for digital twins, LeafLabs extends that same visibility and analytical power into the physical domain of robotics and automation. We're thrilled to be in Munich at #Celosphere this week, launching our official partnership and the next frontier of process mining. Join us Wednesday at 10:00 in the Braindate Lounge, and 12:00 in the Industry Zone for demos and a glimpse into the future.

We might know where some of these are lying around... 👀 Should we do an unboxing? https://lnkd.in/eHdysdJh
