Charlie Kemp Builds Assistive Mobile Robots to Help People Live Independently

Charlie Kemp, cofounder and chief technology officer of Hello Robot, develops mobile manipulators with arms to physically assist older adults and people with disabilities in homes and workplaces.

His work began with humanoid robots at MIT and led to assistive robotics research, including a collaboration with Henry Evans through the Robots for Humanity effort. The profile is part of IEEE Spectrum's "A Day in the Life of a Roboticist" series.
