Assistive robotics focus at Hello Robot highlighted
Charlie Kemp, cofounder and CTO of Hello Robot, works on developing mobile assistive robots—machines with arms that help people with limited mobility live more independently. His team’s Stretch robots are already being used by researchers and in homes to assist older adults and people with disabilities. Kemp emphasizes learning from real-world user experiences rather than focusing solely on automation.
