  • The study builds a Stretch-based system that verbally and visually guides older adults with Parkinson's disease through physical-therapy exercise games.
  • Stretch RE1 uses its soft end effector as an adaptive target for hand, foot, and knee reaching exercises.
  • A 10-participant user study reported that participants found the system useful and easy to use.

Hello Robot builds Stretch, a lightweight open-source mobile manipulator designed for researchers, developers, application engineers and assistive robotics use. The company focuses on practical human-centered mobile manipulation rather than humanoid form factors, with hardware designed for homes, labs and workplaces.
