Bob captures and reanimates your company’s physical wisdom in one integrated AI device
Bob is a wearable hardware device and data service. It connects the ground truth of your physical work to your data systems.
Stop your line’s single point of failure from walking out the door. The master retires; the mastery stays.
New hires learn the real job, not the manual’s version of it. Compress eighteen months of osmosis into weeks.
A defensible record of how work was actually performed, not how a form says it was. Audit-ready evidence with cm-precision.
The master’s footpath reveals the waste nobody’s measuring. Time-and-motion engineering captured as a free byproduct.
See how an acquired or distant plant actually runs, not how its org chart claims it does. Benchmark real operating reality across sites.
The rig that recorded the master guides the novice in situ. One device closes the loop from knowledge captured to knowledge delivered.
Worker shares their wisdom while wearing a Bob device
Bob device captures images + audio + position
Bob device connects to your secure data cloud in its rugged protective case
AI processing creates interactive visualizations, and spatially-accurate knowledge graphs.
Connect this data to your MES, AI agents, Digital Twins, or favorite AI service.
Data from Bob lives in Swarm; Mission Control’s AI platform and architecture. Instantly create digital workers that can put that expert knowledge to work immediately.
Learn about SwarmTry Bob for 90 days in your facility. Preserve and reanimate the critical knowledge that makes your organization run.
Pilot BobBob is a chest-mounted embedded robotic device for capturing and digitizing expert knowledge. It securely captures audio, images, and spatial data. It is approximately the size of an ice hockey puck.
Expert workers opt in to wearing Bob. Experts share the special unique wisdom they possess about work processes, machines, or the working environment. Bob listens and watches. This transforms the idiosyncratic knowledge of your experts into something legible by your data and AI systems. Now you can preserve, analyze, and reanimate that expert worker wisdom.
Bob captures images, audio, and spatial information. That includes information about the orientation of the Bob unit, as well as its location in your facility. This is used to correlate expert knowledge with particular workstations or parts of your working environment.
Expert workers with critical knowledge that was never written down: but is about to walk out the door. Calibration data. Setup information. Which machines are reliable and which are not. That one sensor that you can never trust. The importance of a particular vendor relationship. How to get that one pump unstuck.
Things that only they knew: but that your organization MUST preserve.
You can get 2 Bob devices for 90 days as a Pilot. It’s affordable and comes with no commitment. We send you a ruggedized case, 2 Bob device units, the decryption sync computer, and 2 power units. If you like them, keep using them. Otherwise, you’re done. Just send them back.
Yes, let’s make that happen. Reach out using the Pilot form and share more about your bulk use case.
Yes. A version is available with a volumetric spatial sensor instead. A version is available that has neither spatial nor visual sensors.
Data from the Bob unit is encrypted on device. Connect the Bob units to the provided decryption sync computer. It securely transfers data from the devices directly to your private cloud tenancy.
Yes. All of it. All data from the Bob devices and decryption sync computer goes directly to your private cloud tenancy. We include Swarm, our on-prem integrated agentic AI platform, at no extra charge for installation as an appliance in your tenancy. No data goes back to Mission Control corporate or Mission Control’s cloud. Swarm is compatible with Azure, AWS, GCP, and any environment where Docker or Kubernetes can be used.

Multimodal, spatially-grounded, expert-demonstrated action data: the exact fuel synthetic workers in Swarm need and the open internet does not contain.
Cm-precise positioning and footpath is the manipulation-and-motion demonstration data humanoid robotics companies are starving for. A separate market buying the kinematic layer alone.
The splat and geometry build a reusable 3D model of the actual workspace, ready for simulation, layout, and planning long after capture ends.
Mine the quiet-part heuristics, the configuration tricks, the failure-mode judgment that never reached a manual. A reasoning layer of expert if-then that no SOP holds.
The ontology across workers and sites becomes queryable: consensus method, dangerous outlier, tribal variation, all surfaced. Process mining for physical work, more valuable with every capture.
A corpus competitors cannot scrape, buy, or reconstruct. Every shift deepens a data network effect while rivals train synthetic workers on manuals and YouTube. First mover ontologizes the physical economy and owns the ground truth others can only approximate.
Yes. You can directly connect Claude or ChatGPT to Bob easily on Swarm. This means that Claude, ChatGPT, or any other agentic or AI technology can — as you allow — use the legacy wisdom that Bob collects.
No. Any worker can use Bob. We know that there are many teams with high turn-over who would similarly benefit from recording expertise.
Approximately 1 work shift.
A version with no camera is also available.
Tell us more about the requirements and we will ensure that your Bob units can meet them.
