# Avea Robotics

> Avea Robotics builds Sentinel, ultra-low-latency software that lets a human operator step into a robot from anywhere in the world. When an autonomous robot gets stuck on an edge case, an operator teleoperates it back on track - keeping fleets running and capturing the intervention data that makes the next model better. Founded in 2026 by UIUC engineers Ary Indarapu and Vikram Vadrevu and backed by Y Combinator (P26), the company reports roughly $18K MRR and has helped deploy close to 30 robots.
