Analysis:
A spinout from Cruise, Foxglove was founded to fill a gap in off-the-shelf tooling for robotics development. While working at Cruise, Foxglove co-founders Adrian Macniel and Roman Shtylman learned how crucial a fully integrated robotics development platform was. It can be timely and costly for robotics companies to develop their own platform, but Foxglove eliminates the need for that.

While the founders began working with visualization for autonomous vehicles, Foxglove Studio works for a variety of robots. The company examined the most repetitive parts of robotics development to optimize workflows. The program is customizable, allowing users to pick which modules best fit their workflow. It’s also open sourced, allowing roboticists to build their own panels into the app. - Brianna Wessling
