PlatformHeimdall — the platform behind every working humanoid
One system from operator to robot to dataset. Heimdall runs the teleoperation stack that puts humanoids to work today, captures the data from every shift, trains the models on our own GPUs and keeps the whole fleet safe and supervised.

Teleoperation
Everything a remote pilot needs to do real work inside a real store.
| Feature | What it does | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Low-latency VR piloting Live video from the robot's cameras streams to a VR headset, and hand controllers drive the robot in real time. | Live video from the robot's cameras streams to a VR headset, and hand controllers drive the robot in real time. | Live |
| Whole-body control layer Pilots move the arms directly while a learned walking controller keeps the robot balanced; walking, crouching and turning are on the joysticks. | Pilots move the arms directly while a learned walking controller keeps the robot balanced; walking, crouching and turning are on the joysticks. | Live |

Safety & Supervision
Built for shop floors with staff, customers and real consequences.
- 1,000
- safety checks per second, inside the robot's own controller
- ~10 ms
- from the pilot pressing freeze to the robot standing still
- ~40
- conditions watched continuously, across the robot, the network and the pilot
Measured on HIVE's Unitree G1 robots, October 2026.
Safety in Heimdall works in layers. The robot's own controller checks its balance and its motors a thousand times a second and can stop on its own. A separate safety supervisor watches everything around it: the pilot's connection, motor temperatures, the network and the robot's own software. The supervisor is itself watched, so if it ever stops, the robot freezes until it is back.
| Feature | What it does | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Instant freeze One button freezes the robot in place, balanced and holding its pose, with a full emergency stop at the pilot station and on the robot. | One button freezes the robot in place, balanced and holding its pose, with a full emergency stop at the pilot station and on the robot. | Live |
| Connection-loss hold If the pilot link drops, the robot stops, keeps its balance and grip, awaiting the pilot's return. | If the pilot link drops, the robot stops, keeps its balance and grip, awaiting the pilot's return. | Live |
| Motor health watch Motor temperatures are checked ten times a second, to warn pilots early and settle robots into a stable stance before any motor overheats. | Motor temperatures are checked ten times a second, to warn pilots early and settle robots into a stable stance before any motor overheats. | Live |

What happens if...
The pilot's connection drops, a motor runs hot or the robot trips? Heimdall has a tested, measured response for each of them. We are happy to walk you through the details. Ask us for more insights
Like this kind of problem? Our safety system runs inside a 1 kHz real-time controller, with an independent supervisor beside it and every session recorded for replay in simulation. We are hiring engineers who want to make humanoids a reliable workforce alongside people. See open roles
