Robots for when you need an extra hand.

DreamOne picks and stocks orders using the shelves, bins, and workstations already in your warehouse. It handles peak demand for you and flexes across workflows as needed. DreamOne learns the job from your team as they work, so it always does it your way.

The new generation of fulfillment automation.
Robots for every business and every home next.
The automation gap

Built to be adaptable.

Warehouse automation was built for facilities that do one thing at an enormous scale. Most warehouses aren’t that. They run thousands of SKUs, change them constantly, and handle the rest with labor that is increasingly scarce and difficult to hold on to.

Changing SKUs

DreamOne learns the way a new hire does, by watching how your team does the work, so no re-engineering is needed when the work changes.

Demand spikes

Turn on robots for the Sunday rush or the Q4 ramp and reassign them when it passes. Our robots reduce stress in your existing system.

Moving fast

DreamOne works with the shelves, bins, and workstations already in your warehouse, alongside your team, starting day one.

Zero infrastructure

DreamOne needs nothing from you but floor space. It works with the shelves, bins, and workstations already in your warehouse, next to the people already using them, so there is no expensive retrofit or shutdown window. Adding robots for a busy month is as simple as flipping a switch, with no capital to approve.

Research

Learning from people, not teleoperation.

Most robots are trained by remote-controlling them in lab-like rooms, which is slow and expensive and breaks down as soon as the scenery changes. We train on workers doing their normal jobs, recorded by a wearable they forget they’re wearing.

DreamCatcher records what the hands see, where they go, and what they feel, all shift long, without slowing anyone down.

Move Precise hand and body tracking, even around reflective and cluttered shelves.
Feel Fingertip force from a sensorized glove whose geometry matches DreamOne’s hand, so what a person feels transfers directly to the robot.
Building the 1M-hour fulfillment dataset

Thousands of hours recorded so far across our capture backpacks, on the way to a million hours of real fulfillment work in visual, spatial and tactile detail. Every shift a worker wears DreamCatcher adds to it.

How it works

Every shift makes the robot better.

Human data is diverse by nature. It comes from different rooms, lighting, objects and people, so the policies it trains generalize where teleoperated ones fail. Every deployment adds more data to the same loop.

  1. 01

    Capture

    Workers wear DreamCatcher during normal shifts. The work gets done as usual and the data is collected at no extra cost.

  2. 02

    Train

    In-house models learn from vision, motion, and touch together, turning demonstrations into robot policies.

  3. 03

    Self-improve

    DreamOne keeps learning on the job from its own successes and failures.

  4. 04

    Deploy

    Robots are added where needed and reassigned when not. The data they collect while working goes into the next round of training.

Team

Roboticists who have shipped real products.

Between us we led dexterous manipulation at Tesla Optimus, co-developed the actuators inside nearly every modern robot, and shipped robotics products at Google X and Toyota. We are now one team in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Put robots to work on your floor.

We’re working with a small number of early partners in e-commerce fulfillment, especially operators heading into a peak they know they can’t staff. If that sounds like you, or you want to build this with us, we’d like to hear from you.
