What it sells
The human-in-the-loop system for robots
Business model breakdown
Buyer: who owns the budget?
UnverifiedRobotics teams deploying arms, humanoids, drones or AMRs (analyst inference from the install-and-operate flow and per-robot pricing).
Trigger: what makes them buy now?
Moving a robot from first teleoperation demo to supervised autonomy and fleet operations, where autonomy fails on edge cases and humans must take over.
Workflow: what inputs become what output?
Install the Sentinel runtime (ROS 2, Python, C++), configure URDF, cameras and safety limits, teleoperate remotely, let autonomy run with operator hand-off on failures, manage the fleet, and turn interventions into training datasets.
Economics: what it saves and how it charges
Per-robot SaaS plus metered teleoperation hours; managed operator workforce sold at the top tier.
Distribution: how it reaches customers
Self-serve free tier with a curl installer and docs; 'Talk to us' / 'Book a call' for the custom Scale tier. Site notes Avea is now part of Foundry Robotics.
