Homebrew gives robot teams a remote recovery path, records exactly what happened, and turns every intervention into signed operational data.
the-problem
Autonomy gets you most of the way. The edge cases are where deployments stall, and right now nobody owns that moment.
When a robot gets stuck in the field, it happens in front of your customer. Every minute it is down is a cost and a credibility hit.
Foundation models made baseline capability cheap. The hard tail of edge cases stays, and that tail is where real deployments break.
Teams recover robots ad hoc, over chat and remote desktop. The most valuable moment, the failure and the fix, is never captured.
how-it-works
Every recovery produces uptime today and a reusable, signed artifact tomorrow.
A deployed robot reaches a situation its autonomy cannot handle and stops.
Your team or a Homebrew operator can take over in VR and finish the task.
The task is completed. The full session is captured and signed as it happens.
The session turns into a replay, an incident record, and a training-data artifact you can reuse.
edge case → remote takeover → recover and record → signed artifact
proof
An end-to-end recovery loop is live in the lab. The clip below shows the robot, the VR recovery loop, and a session signed off at the end.
Built on VR teleoperation, robot telemetry capture, signed receipts, and portable .hbr recovery-session artifacts.
what-you-get
Not a black box. Concrete artifacts your ops, autonomy, and learning teams can use.
A working takeover path behind your deployment for when a robot gets stuck.
Tamper-evident record of what happened, ready for incident logging, customer review, and insurance.
One portable, signed bundle with a BLAKE3 hash chain that proves the whole session.
Recovery slices structured for LeRobot-compatible export, ready to drop into your training runs.
ways-to-work
Both run on the same operators and the same signed capture stack.
Put a remote recovery path behind your deployment. When a robot gets stuck, your team or a Homebrew operator takes over remotely and finishes the task. You get uptime, signed incident records, and replayable sessions.
For deployment teams and fleet operators running in the real world.
Talk to us about recovery opsThis data is not sitting in a dataset somewhere. It has to be generated through real intervention. Tell us the tasks and failure modes you care about, and we run them with our robots and operators, then capture the slices: pre-failure context, operator actions, robot telemetry, outcome labels, and replayable sessions. Signed, and structured for LeRobot-compatible export.
For autonomy and robot learning teams.
Talk to us about a datasetfor-the-record
We do not build or sell robots.
We do not train the base model.
We do not just dashboard a fleet that already works.
We are the recovery and record layer between a stuck robot and a clean, signed outcome.
start-a-pilot
A pilot is small and concrete. We prove the loop on a single failure, then expand only if it earns it.
Which robot and which workflow breaks in the field, and how often.
We set up one robot and one remote recovery loop on your deployment.
Remote recovery, replay, signed records, and dataset slices from real sessions.
Add more robots and more workflows once the value is clear.
We are looking for robot teams with active pilots, live deployments, or recurring edge-case failures. Bring one robot, one workflow, and one failure mode.
