Hello Robot launches Stretch for homes: a practical assistant robot for people with limited mobility

Friends, a quick update from robotics: Hello Robot has released Stretch v4, a home robot designed to assist people with limited mobility.

Key points:
— Built to operate in real homes with a human in the loop, not only in labs.
— A quadriplegic user's story: voice control via an app restored several daily abilities.
— Price about $30,000; first run sold out; company emphasizes safety and operational data collection.

Why it matters: robots that can work safely at home restore independence and gather vital data to improve AI.

Are we ready to welcome assistant robots into everyday life?
