// Robot Reliability & Operations Consulting

Robot reliability, built around your operation.

We design and build the detection, paging, and data flow your on-call rotation needs — around your hardware, your sites, your channels. Catch errors as they happen, page whoever owns the problem where they actually watch, and put the logs, bags, and telemetry to fix it in front of them. A reliability setup you own and can keep changing as the operation does.

// Why teams hire us

Reliability shaped around your operation — not a product you have to fit into.

01 · DETECT

Catch the failure, not the symptom.

We build error and anomaly detection into your robots' own signals, tuned to your hardware and your real failure modes, so you hear about the regression or the stuck robot before the support queue does.

02 · PAGE

Reach the right person where they already are.

We wire alerting into the channels your on-call actually watches — phone, text, email, Slack, PagerDuty — and design routing around your rotation, so the right engineer gets the right fault instead of a firehose.

03 · CONTEXT

The data to fix it, attached to the page.

We set up capture so the alert arrives with the logs, traces, and telemetry around the failure already pulled together. No 2am scramble for the right rosbag; investigation starts from context, not from zero.

04 · MTTR

Built to shorten MTTR.

Everything we design — detection, routing, context — exists to cut the time from alert to resolution. Fewer site visits, fewer dead-end pages, less time per incident. You own the result and can keep tuning it.

// What teams come to us with

Most engagements start with one of these.

Where teams tend to start. Not a fixed menu.

01Alert tuning to cut on-call noise
02On-call schedule and escalation policy design
03Runbooks and triage playbooks
04Incident reviews that change the system
05Liveness and heartbeat monitoring
06Regression detection across builds, sites, and hardware revisions
07Safer autonomy rollouts and rollback
08Uptime and reliability reporting

Don't see yours? That's usually what the consult is for.

// Failure to fix

We design the path from failure to fix around your operation.

Most robot incident workflows share this shape, but you don't have to take them all at once. We map what you already have, agree on what matters most right now, and phase the rest in over time.

Failure to fix
01 · DETECT

Error & anomaly detection

02 · CORRELATE

Context & data capture

03 · PAGE

Routing & multi-channel alerting

04 · INVESTIGATE

Triage & root cause

05 · RESOLVE

Resolution & feedback

// Who you talk to

Engineers who have owned on-call for a robot operation.

We have shipped autonomy software, run on-call rotations, and built the alerting that wakes people up — or, done right, lets them sleep. We also maintain open-source ROS2 instrumentation — rmw_robotops and ROSQL — that a lot of this work rests on, so you're hiring people who've solved the problem in code, not just in slides. Every engagement is shaped to the team and the rotation in front of us, not a packaged offering. You get the engineer doing the work, not a salesperson, and a setup designed to keep your people off airplanes.

Custom

Routing and detection shaped to your rotation

Flexible

Components you can swap as the operation evolves — open-source tools, or a managed option like TraceHouse if you later want it run for you

Direct

US-based engineers, reachable by phone
