RoboPulse — AI Agent to Test Robot Policies From Slack https://robopulse-hackathon.vercel.app/ RoboPulse is a Slack-native AI agent that lets robotics engineers test, diagnose, and iterate on robot policies without leaving their workflow. Type /robopulse test in Slack, and our agent spins up a real NVIDIA GPU, runs your policy in Isaac Sim physics simulation, analyzes failures using Gemini 2.0 Flash, and posts results — all in the same Slack thread. The Problem: Robot engineers waste 4+ hours per iteration manually running simulations, switching between terminals and dashboards, and deciphering cryptic failure logs. Our Solution: A conversational AI agent that lives in Slack. One command triggers a full simulation run on cloud GPUs. Gemini analyzes telemetry data and explains in plain English why your robot failed and exactly how to fix it. Engineers chat with the agent to ask follow-up questions, adjust parameters, and re-run — all without leaving Slack. Built with: - Vercel AI SDK + Google Gemini 2.0 Flash for AI-powered failure diagnosis - Slack Platform (slash commands, interactive Block Kit, threaded conversations) - Next.js 14 on Vercel for the agent backend and landing page - NVIDIA Isaac Sim on RunPod GPUs for real physics simulation - Railway (FastAPI + Postgres + Redis) for job orchestration - Supabase for authentication Key Features: - /robopulse test — trigger GPU simulation from Slack - Real-time progress updates with stage tracking - Reward decomposition and failure mode analysis - Gemini-powered conversational diagnosis in Slack threads - Pay-as-you-go pricing ($0.50/test run) - Sign up → Add to Slack → Start testing in under 2 minutes
