In the past, robotics companies turned to remote edge case handling either as a last step in the refinement of their product or not at all. Instead, they relied on customers to hire, train, and staff operators to be able to intervene when the robots fail. These groups typically do a small number of expensive pilot deployments with customers, with trained staff on-site to rescue the robots when they fail, and would spend years eliminating bugs before finally getting to 99.9999% reliability and be
