Problem
Home robots such as vacuums, robot dogs, and future humanoids are limited to their factory‑installed functions, preventing owners from adding new capabilities or developers from creating custom experiences. This closed ecosystem restricts the utility of robots for families, security, education, and smart‑home integration.
Solution
Remake provides an open app platform that turns any compatible robot into a programmable, extensible device similar to a smartphone. Manufacturers integrate Remake’s SDK and cloud services to embed an app store on their robots, enabling users to browse, install, and run free or paid apps that add games, home patrol, pet monitoring, education, and smart‑home actions. Developers build once using a ROS2‑based SDK and containerized deployment, then publish apps that run on any supported robot, earning 70% of each sale. The platform also offers APIs for IFTTT, Home Assistant, and other third‑party services, allowing robots to react to sensor events and act as versatile assistants.
Target Audience
Primary customers are robot manufacturers seeking to differentiate their products, developers who want to create and sell robot apps, and families looking for multifunctional home robots that can entertain, secure, and assist.
