How much does HOMIE Gen2 cost?

Ropedia did not disclose pricing, but business users can purchase the devices individually or in bundles.

What makes HOMIE Gen2 different from other capture devices?

It is designed to be the first egocentric capture device with a 360-degree field of view for robot training, capturing video from the point of view of cameras positioned where they will be in most robotic setups.

3 Key Points

What happened
Singapore-based Ropedia Pte. Ltd. announced the launch of HOMIE Gen2, a head-mounted wearable that records human movement data to train robots. It is described as the first egocentric capture device with a 360-degree field of view for robot training.
Why it matters
Most robot training data comes from videos of humans doing tasks, but not all of it is easily transformed into useful data. HOMIE Gen2 captures video from the point of view of cameras positioned where they will be in most robotic setups, putting AI models "in the driver's seat" rather than at an angle or distance.
What to watch
The device uses four camera streams, spatial audio, and motion data, with hardware synchronization to within 50 microseconds. Deployment is 10 times faster than the previous generation and costs about one-12th the cost of a full lab capture. Ropedia did not disclose pricing but said business users can purchase devices individually or in bundles.

Context & Analysis

The launch of HOMIE Gen2 comes after Ropedia raised a $22 million pre-Series A funding round last month to scale up its engineering efforts. The company emphasizes that scaling laws apply to physical AI as well as large language models, but the data must come from someone actually doing the job. By providing egocentric, immersive data, HOMIE Gen2 aims to give AI models the right type of data, not just high volumes. The device's ability to capture multiple target tasks in a single session and its ease of deployment across any environment without an external rig could make it a practical tool for companies training robots for diverse settings.
