About Hello Robot

Hello Robot is a California company built around a single product idea: a mobile manipulator that is light, compact and safe enough to work shoulder-to-shoulder with people in real homes, laboratories and care settings. Its flagship platform, Stretch, combines a small omnidirectional mobile base with a lightweight telescoping arm, a dexterous wrist and gripper, head and gripper cameras and depth sensing, all released as an open-source platform so that researchers can build directly on the hardware and software. First launched in 2020 as a research edition, Stretch has gone through successive generations — Stretch RE1 and RE2, Stretch 3, and Stretch 4, introduced in 2026 — and is deployed at hundreds of research, academic and corporate sites (company-stated).

Alongside the research market, Hello Robot pilots Stretch as an assistive robot for people with severe mobility impairments and for older adults ageing at home, supported by US federal research grants, including a National Institutes of Health programme on robotic support for people with mild cognitive impairment. The robots are manufactured in-house at the company’s Martinez, California facility. For partners, Hello Robot is one of the few off-the-shelf, openly documented mobile-manipulation platforms available for embodied-AI research, prototyping and care-robotics pilots.

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	8 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
Last verified	6 November 2026 — facts on this profile were checked against the sources listed below. Profiles are re-checked on a published 90-day cycle; this date is never quietly refreshed.
