Episode 34 | Overcoming Assistive Technology Challenges | Todd Roberts & Owen Kent
In this episode of Machine Minds, we sit down with Todd Roberts and Owen Kent, the co-founders of ATDev, a company at the forefront of assistive technology development.
Todd and Owen met in California at the University of California, Berkeley. A teacher later put them on the same team. They bonded over their shared passion for robotics and their desire to use technology to improve people's lives.
Owen shares that his own experience dealing with a neuromuscular condition inspired him to explore the potential of robotics for physical therapy and rehabilitation. This, combined with Todd's technical expertise, led the two to co-found ATDev and embark on an incredible journey to bring their innovative assistive technologies to market.
Tune in to hear the funny story of how Todd and Owen first met, learn about the early days of ATDev, and get a glimpse into the vision that drives them to continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the world of assistive tech.
