A robot that can be corrected is a robot that can be deployed.
Latent Energy connects people who can teleoperate, step in and correct a robot with the teams that need it. Buyers pay in credits, only for the episodes, interventions and corrections they accept. Nothing is priced by the hour.

Twenty-one seconds of silent film. It opens on the Latent Energy end card, which dissolves into a wrist-camera frame of an open gripper. Short cuts of robot arms, grippers and humanoid hands from many robot datasets lifting, folding, sorting, uncapping and pouring, with our own robot cell seen a few times, between bone-coloured plates of recorded data: a control strip with a yellow human-takeover segment, gripper traces, a manifest with file hashes and a check list that reads all pass. The line Every take, checked holds on screen, then a fast run of cuts lands on a grasp seen from two cameras at once. The end card shows the Latent Energy mark beside the wordmark, the line Robot data, verified, the address latentenergy.com and a control strip along the bottom, and holds.
Three units. Each one is a record, not a timesheet.
Every unit arrives with a manifest against a seed Latent issued, and is charged only when the buyer accepts it or its decision deadline passes.
Accepted episode
One teleoperation or autonomous episode on a named robot platform that met the buyer's acceptance bar.
Accepted intervention
One live human takeover of a running policy, from the moment it stopped acting until it resumed, with the takeover span and the failure class in the manifest.
Accepted correction
One offline relabel or re-demonstration of a logged failure the buyer supplies, with the failed log and the policy version named in the manifest.
How credits work
Buyers prepay, providers deliver, and money moves only when a unit is accepted.
- 1
Buy credits
Pay by card through Stripe, or request a grant and settle an invoice. Credits sit in your balance until you spend them.
- 2
Order units
Post a task or order from a provider's page. The order total is held from your balance, so every request a provider sees is funded.
- 3
Pay per accepted unit
Each unit you accept moves its price to the provider, minus the platform fee of 15%. Rejected units release their hold when the order closes.
| 1 credit | $0.01 |
|---|---|
| Platform fee | 15% |
| Card purchase | $10 to $5,000 |
| Hold at order | quantity x unit price |
| Hold released | declined, cancelled or rejected units |

Open tasks
What buyers need now. Each task names the platform, the unit, the volume and the acceptance bar.
No open tasks
Buyers post the platform, the unit, the volume and the acceptance bar. Providers who can meet it list a matching unit, and the buyer orders from their profile.
Every take, checked.
Each unit comes with a manifest: operator, robot, station, start time, duration, cameras, policy version, and every file with its hash. Hashes are matched against the whole market before the unit exists.
How delivery is checked
Every order follows the same four rules. Latent holds the files providers upload, and keeps the record of every file.
Seeded before recording
Latent issues a seed for each episode before it is recorded: a random nonce, the instruction and the objects, valid for 72 hours and usable once. The manifest must name it, and a start time outside the seed's window is refused. For files in Latent custody, the checker looks for the seed's card in the first seconds of the video.
Every file hash on record
Each delivered unit lists its files with a sha256 and size. The hashes are kept and matched against every unit in the market; a file already delivered, by any provider, is refused at delivery. Files in Latent custody are hashed again from the stored bytes, and their video is compared with the other units in custody to catch re-encoded copies.
A reason and a deadline on every decision
A reject names a reason code from a closed list. A unit nobody decides by its deadline, 7 days by default with one extension, is accepted and charged as if the buyer had accepted it.
A hash-chained record per order
Every step on an order, from creation to review, is an event whose hash covers the one before it. Both sides can read the chain on the order page and recompute it.
Two sides, one record
For buyers
Teams that need teleoperation data, live takeovers or corrections.
Terms frozen on the order
Write the rubric, the required streams, the minimum length and the objects into the order. They are hashed at creation, and every reject code and check refers back to them.
Files held by Latent
Providers upload each unit's files into Latent custody by default, and your order can require it. You download them from the order page, and Latent checks every hash against the stored bytes.
Decide within the window
7 days per unit by default, set per order, with one extension. Reject with a reason code, or the unit is accepted for you at the deadline. Rights are written per order; the terms define a non-exclusive licence.
For providers
Teleop teams, cell owners, labs and individual operators.
List what you can do
Name your platforms, rigs, hours, link latency and a price per accepted unit. Latent reviews the profile before it is listed.
Funded requests only
Every order you see is already held from the buyer's balance. Accept it, draw a seed per episode before recording, deliver each unit with its manifest, and each accepted unit is paid.
A record you keep
Acceptance rate, response time, units completed and reviews show on your page. Cancelling an order after you accepted it counts against your record, and a buyer's silence cannot hold a unit past its deadline.
Autonomy at a new site is a number, not a promise.
The number comes from gated runs, human handoffs and the corrections that follow. That record is what this market sells, and what it keeps.
