We recover deployed robots when autonomy fails.

Homebrew gives robot teams a remote recovery path, records exactly what happened, and turns every intervention into signed operational data.

  • Live end-to-end recovery loop
  • BLAKE3-signed session records
  • LeRobot-compatible export
Built for
Robot OEMs, deployment teams, autonomy teams, and fleet operators running live pilots where failures are customer-visible.

the-problem

Deployed robots fail in public, with no usable record.

Autonomy gets you most of the way. The edge cases are where deployments stall, and right now nobody owns that moment.

01

Failures are customer-visible

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.

02

Autonomy never reaches 100%

Foundation models made baseline capability cheap. The hard tail of edge cases stays, and that tail is where real deployments break.

03

The record gets lost

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

One remote recovery loop, from stuck robot to signed record.

Every recovery produces uptime today and a reusable, signed artifact tomorrow.

Remote recovery loop feeding a signed dataset 01 Robot hits an edge case A deployed robot reaches a situation its autonomy cannot handle and stops. 02 Operator takes over remotely Your team or a Homebrew operator can take over in VR and finish the task. 03 Recovered and recorded The task is completed. The full session is captured and signed as it happens. 04 Becomes a signed artifact The session turns into a replay, an incident record, and a training-data artifact you can reuse.

01

Robot hits an edge case

A deployed robot reaches a situation its autonomy cannot handle and stops.

02

Operator takes over remotely

Your team or a Homebrew operator can take over in VR and finish the task.

03

Recovered and recorded

The task is completed. The full session is captured and signed as it happens.

04

Becomes a signed artifact

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

Built and running. See it work.

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.

  • End-to-end loop is live. A robot fails, an operator recovers it remotely, the session is signed.
  • A full-scale bipedal humanoid in our lab, integrating now.
  • Sessions structured for LeRobot-compatible export.
  • Pilot conversations underway with deployment teams.
External evidence
24% 85%
In ABC: Scalable Behavior Cloning (2026), a few hours of human intervention data took a box-folding model from 24% to 85% mean progress.
Independent result, not a Homebrew result. It shows why intervention data is worth capturing.

what-you-get

Every recovery produces real outputs you keep.

Not a black box. Concrete artifacts your ops, autonomy, and learning teams can use.

Ops

Remote recovery workflow

A working takeover path behind your deployment for when a robot gets stuck.

Record

Signed incident record

Tamper-evident record of what happened, ready for incident logging, customer review, and insurance.

Artifact

.hbr session bundle

One portable, signed bundle with a BLAKE3 hash chain that proves the whole session.

Training

Training-ready slices

Recovery slices structured for LeRobot-compatible export, ready to drop into your training runs.

ways-to-work

Recovery ops, or edge-case data on demand.

Both run on the same operators and the same signed capture stack.

Recovery ops

Keep your fleet running

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 ops
Edge-case datasets

We generate the failure data your models are missing

This 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.

for-the-record

What Homebrew is not.

not

A robot OEM

We do not build or sell robots.

not

A foundation-model company

We do not train the base model.

not

Generic fleet management

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

Bring us one robot, one workflow, one failure mode.

A pilot is small and concrete. We prove the loop on a single failure, then expand only if it earns it.

01

Tell us what fails

Which robot and which workflow breaks in the field, and how often.

02

We instrument one loop

We set up one robot and one remote recovery loop on your deployment.

03

You get recovery and records

Remote recovery, replay, signed records, and dataset slices from real sessions.

04

Expand if it works

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.
