Rethink Robotics

Rethink Robotics (formerly Heartland Robotics) is a company co-founded by Rodney Brooks and Ann Whittaker in 2008. It is located in Boston, Massachusetts. Rethink Robotics is well-known for producing Baxter, a robot that is used in factories and can be "taught" new skills rather than programmed. A major theme of Rethink Robotics' technologies is having robots that are cost effective and can collaborate with human colleagues, handling dangerous tasks so humans can focus on other tasks.
