Paralysed by a stroke, Henry Evans uses a telepresence robot to take the stage — and show how new robotics, tweaked and personalised by a group called Robots for Humanity, help him live his life.
He shows off a nimble little quadrotor UAS, created by a team led by Chad Jenkins, that gives him the ability to navigate space — to once again look around a garden, stroll a campus … (Filmed at TEDxMidAtlantic.)
In 2003, Henry Evans became quadriplegic and mute after a stroke-like attack. Now, working with Robots for Humanity, he’s a pioneer in adaptive robotic tech to help him, and other disabled people like him, navigate the world.
