About Foxglove
Foxglove Visualisation brings camera feeds, lidar, transforms, diagnostics and control data into configurable shared layouts for live and recorded debugging. Its data platform stores and indexes multimodal robot recordings, while MCAP provides an efficient open format for synchronised logs.
Fleet tools connect engineers to deployed robots for live telemetry, remote commands and recording transfer. The platform creates one development loop from data capture and incident analysis through dataset curation, model evaluation and redeployment across a production fleet.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-08-18 - Product Launch - Foxglove launches agentic robotics-data platform with NVIDIA Cosmos search
Semantic Search uses NVIDIA Cosmos to query multimodal robotics and autonomy data in natural language. Agentic workflows can investigate fleet failures and help curate training and evaluation datasets. The release also includes Comparison Mode for side-by-side analysis and packages Remote Access for live fleet visibility and intervention.
Source - 2026-08-11 - Deployment - Dexterity reports measured development gains with Foxglove
Dexterity attributed roughly 20% development-time savings and more than $150,000 in annual tooling and development savings to the workflow. Issue triage fell below 10 minutes, while the team reported discovery-to-fix cycles of less than one day. The integration spans primary and edge customer sites, allowing developers, test engineers, field operations and partners to share robot-event data.
Source - 2026-08-11 - Deployment - Saronic documents Foxglove use across ASV engineering
More than 20% of autonomy and perception engineering time shifted away from custom visualization and tooling maintenance. More than 50 engineers—over 30% of the company—were onboarded to the platform. Issue discovery to a production fix now completes in less than 24 hours.
Source - 2026-08-11 - Deployment - Wayve reports faster autonomy triage with Foxglove
After centralizing vehicle data in Foxglove, Wayve reduced event triage from hours or days to minutes or seconds, making root-cause investigation materially faster. Nearly 40% of Wayve’s engineering team uses Foxglove in daily workflows, with the platform supporting experimentation and debugging across vehicle platforms. Shared event tagging, dashboards and links let engineers and vehicle-safety operators investigate the same synchronized evidence, while several internal tools were consolidated into the platform.

A runtime display flag streams camera feeds plus joint and action plots to Foxglove over WebSocket. Recorded LeRobot datasets can be replayed as seekable timelines without loading an entire episode into memory. Live and replay modes retain a consistent topic layout, so one visualization layout can serve both workflows.
Source - 2026-07-02 - Deployment - Foxglove cuts Greenzie mower-incident triage from days to minutes
Greenzie connects its mowers to Foxglove over VPN so customer data uploads automatically without manual offloading or mailing physical drives. Foxglove replaced a multi-tool ROS workflow and supports shared layouts, links, events and custom sensor views for engineering, support and customer collaboration. Incident analysis fell from a full day to under an hour—and sometimes under 30 minutes—while Greenzie can catch problems before customers report them.
Source - 2026-07-02 - Deployment - Foxglove cuts Square Robot debugging time by 50%
The Foxglove workflow centralizes sensor outputs, 3D environments, camera feeds and ROS bag data instead of requiring repeated exports and specialized Ubuntu setups. Square Robot rolled the platform out company-wide in less than a month, enabling Windows-based field workflows and real-time collaboration across software, systems, electrical and field teams. The change cut debugging time by 50%, saved hundreds of development hours and accelerated delivery of new features and fixes.

Foxglove events let Coco batch-review incidents across trips, including tagged robot–human interactions and automatically detected issues such as robot flips. Engineers can inspect failure modes across a hundred trips in minutes, compare event tags with pilot reports and avoid manually searching petabytes of unstructured data. Coco reduced incident resolution from hours to seconds while using organized data to assess operational impact and improve human-pilot oversight.

Bessemer Venture Partners led the Series B, with Eclipse Ventures, Amplify Partners and Icehouse Ventures participating. Foxglove CEO Adrian Macneil told The Information that the financing valued the company at $150 million before the new capital. The capital supports Foxglove's data-management, observability and synchronized replay platform for robotics and autonomous-system developers.
