On Friday January 24th, representatives from the ALS Association visited our offices to meet Stretch, the new accessible robot from HelloRobot, that we are collaborating on testing.
We have teamed up with Hello Robot, a leading innovator in robots that assist people, and the ALS Association to advance the development and testing of Stretch. Under this partnership, Stretch will be further developed to meet the specific needs of people living with ALS with the goal of improving usability across a variety of daily activities (e.g., eating, drinking, personal care, and household chores). Product development and testing will be done in close collaboration with an advisory group of users with ALS, their care partners, and clinicians.
