About Groundlight
Groundlight provides Groundlight Hub and developer tools that turn camera feeds into answers to natural-language visual questions. A user can ask whether a bottle is missing a cap, a pipe is leaking or a worker is wearing a safety harness, and the system returns a vision result that can be used in an inspection or automation workflow.
The company exposes a Python SDK and ROS2 package for robotics, alongside edge inference and a human-annotation service that tunes models as conditions change. Groundlight positions the same vision layer for manufacturing, robotics, retail, facilities management and security; the connected camera, robot program and acceptance criteria determine the deployed application.
