Hebbian Robotics (YC S26) launches HFlow, an open source SDK for scalable robotics data pipelines

Launch HN: Hebbian Robotics (YC S26) – Build scalable robotics data pipelines

Hebbian Robotics (YC S26) has released HFlow, an open source SDK for building scalable multimodal data pipelines in robotics and physical AI. It addresses the data processing bottleneck by providing tools for quality control, provenance tracking, and corpus curation. HFlow uses MCAP as its input/output format, supports Python-based transformations, and integrates with Airflow and DuckDB for orchestration and querying. The project is pre-v1 but ready to try locally.

We believe processing data is a major bottleneck in robotics.

    Super cool! How do you think you will want to sell these into robotics teams, I find so many core engineering teams in Robotics companies have a "we'll just build it ourself" attitude around tools like this.

    Have you had luck cracking past that?

  2. ZeroCool2u

    I'd be interested in using this with something like the new HuggingFace robots. Do you have demos showing how to go from HFlow dataset to training to deploy?

    How robitics may be “scalable”?

More from this day
