Home & Elder Care
Cleaning, fetching, assistive tasks — context-aware robots for domestic and care settings.
Industry Context
Home and elder care face aging populations and labor shortages. Robots that clean, fetch, and assist can extend independence and reduce caregiver burden — but they must operate in cluttered, varied environments and interact safely with people. Learning-based systems with human-in-the-loop are key.
What We Offer
- Data Collection — Demonstrations for picking, cleaning, organizing, and assistive tasks. Diverse home layouts, objects, and user preferences. Language-conditioned ("get the remote", "tidy the table").
- W1 Mobile Manipulator — Navigate homes, reach shelves, handle objects. Mobile + arm for whole-home tasks.
- Tactile Sensing — Gentle handling for fragile items, medication, and personal care. Force feedback for safe interaction.
- Fearless Data Platform — Log failures, user corrections, and edge cases. Improve over time with real-world feedback.
Value We Deliver
- Independence — Assistive robots help users stay in their homes longer.
- Caregiver relief — Automate repetitive tasks; keep humans for emotional and complex care.
- Personalization — Learning-based systems adapt to individual homes and preferences.
- Safety — Human-in-the-loop, tactile sensing, and graceful failure handling.
