DAQC Robotics is building RoboDAQC, an AI agent and instrumented hardware hub that turns datasheets into verified drivers and ROS 2 nodes in minutes instead of weeks. The system generates code, executes it against real hardware, observes physical electrical behavior, and autonomously corrects errors. It aims to automate device and peripheral bring-up for robotics and industrial engineering teams.
