Hello Robot

Hello Robot is a US robotics company founded in 2017 by Aaron Edsinger and Charlie Kemp that develops the Stretch series of open-source mobile manipulator robots for developers and researchers working on assistive applications for older adults and people with disabilities. The Stretch RE2 features a lightweight arm on a compact, repositionable base designed for safe operation in human environments, with a software stack built entirely on open-source Python and ROS.
