The night shift for Europe’s robots.

When a robot gets stuck, a trained Overshift operator takes control in seconds, fixes it by hand and gives it back. Every rescue is recorded, so your robots need us a little less each month.

03:12  The problem

Robots still get stuck. Someone has to be awake when they do.

A clear bag the gripper can’t hold. A pallet left in an aisle. A door that sticks. Small things stop robots every day, and when nobody is watching, the line waits until morning.

2–4%

of driving time Cruise robotaxis needed remote human help, the only figure a robotaxi fleet has ever published (2023).

≈€19k

a month to staff one 24/7 seat in Spain in-house. Five people per seat, before training and turnover. Our estimate from Eurostat wage data.

03:13  How a rescue works

Forty-four seconds, start to finish.

  1. +0:00

    Robot asks for help

    Your robot detects it is stuck (or your rules decide it is) and raises a flag in the control tower.

  2. +0:06

    A human takes control

    The next free operator, trained on your robot, claims it. One click, no setup, about 25–60 ms away.

  3. +0:07

    Fixed by hand

    They drive it with a keyboard, gamepad or leader arm, see every camera, and talk to your floor team if needed.

  4. +0:44

    Back to work, and learning

    Control returns to autonomy. The rescue is saved as a clean training episode for your next model.

03:14  What every rescue records

Your operator’s hands become your robot’s next lesson.

When an operator fixes a robot with VR hand tracking or a leader arm, every movement is recorded as an action your model can learn from, split into the steps of the fix.

03:15  What you get

03:16  The data deal

Share the rescues. Pay a third less.

The newest robot models, like Physical Intelligence’s π*0.6, learn fastest from exactly this: a human correcting a robot at the moment it fails. Let us keep an anonymised copy of your rescue recordings and your cover costs about a third less. Prefer to keep everything? That’s fine too. Your data never leaves EU storage either way.

03:17  Why Istanbul

Close enough to drive a robot arm by hand.

Watching a robot works from anywhere. Steering one by hand needs a short wire. Istanbul sits a few dozen milliseconds from Europe’s industrial heartland, about a third of the delay from the usual remote-work hubs in India or Mexico.

Istanbul → Frankfurt~25 ms
Istanbul → Barcelona~57 ms
Mumbai → Frankfurt~140 ms
Mexico City → Frankfurt~150 ms

Typical network round trip. Varies by provider and route.

We’re taking a small group of European fleets as design partners this winter. Tell us what your robots do and where they get stuck. We’ll show you what cover would look like within a week.
