Rodney Brooks - Founder, Chairnman & CTO of Rethink Robotics: "I spent a lot of time in Taiwan, Hong Kong and China as we were manufacturing products for iRobot and I realized that outsourcing to China was not a stable solution for long term manufacturing. So I started to think about how we might make robots that were easy to use so that ordinary factory workers could program them, ordinary factory workers could get them to do new tasks and they could be much more productive and compete with manufacturing in China and bring manufacturing back to the US." |

At Rethink Robotics, they believe that all manufacturers, regardless of size and technology experience, should have an equal opportunity to benefit from production robots. They should be affordable. They should be safe to operate around people. They should be easy to train and work right out of the box. And most of all, they should help U.S. manufacturers increase production while keeping jobs from migrating overseas. |
