Craig Schindler, CTO of Assemble Labs, describes how the company has AI agents write experiments for embedded devices and interpret sensor and power data. The 10-minute interview was recorded at NVIDIA GTC 2026. His main case study is a wearable health sensor, including how power regressions are found and fixed. The video shows no bench footage of the agents.

Embedder launched its firmware coding agent on Hacker News on 15 August 2025 with a demo adding a magnetometer to a Pebble 2 Duo. Founders Bob Wei and Ethan Gibbs said it reads uploaded datasheets and schematics, checks output over a serial console and steps through code with GDB. SEGGER announced J-Link and J-Trace probe access in September 2026.

BootLoop, a Y Combinator Summer 2025 startup founded by Noah Pacik-Nelson and Chris Markus, is building an AI agent that writes and tests firmware. The company says the agent reads datasheets and schematics, then validates code on customer boards with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and debug probes. In pilots, its own engineers run the agent and a person reviews every line.
