# ATDev

> ATDev (Assistive Technology Development, Inc.) is a UC Berkeley spinout building an ecosystem of robotic devices that help people stay independent. Its flagship product, Reflex, is a smart, under-5-pound robotic knee brace that delivers personalized, telehealth-enabled physical therapy at home and streams progress data back to clinicians. Founded by engineer Todd Roberts and disability-rights advocate Owen Kent, the company designs 'for users, by users' and is scaling after a $3M seed round while also serving as a subcontractor on a $41M ARPA-H robotic mobility program.

- **Founded:** 2020
- **Headquarters:** Los Angeles / Orange, California, United States
- **Founders:** Todd Roberts (CEO & Co-Founder), Owen Kent (Co-Founder (CMO / Chief Medical Officer))
- **Team size:** ~12 employees
- **Products:** Reflex, RAMMP (Robotic Assistive Mobility and Manipulation Platform)
- **Notable:** FDA-listed device (Reflex), April 2024, Raised $3M seed round in October 2025, Selected as SXSW Pitch 2026 finalist

## Products & services

- **Reflex** — A smart, telehealth-enabled robotic knee brace weighing under 5 lbs. It straps onto the leg and guides the wearer through personalized stretching and strengthening exercises, providing supportive force to restore range of motion or resistive force to build strength. Built-in sensors track range of motion, strength, and adherence and stream the data to clinicians for remote monitoring and adjustment. FDA-listed (April 2024); launched across 10 US states in 2025.
- **RAMMP (Robotic Assistive Mobility and Manipulation Platform)** — Next-generation intelligent wheelchair technology developed as a subcontractor on a $41M, five-year ARPA-H program led by the University of Pittsburgh. Aims to build open-source robotic wheelchairs with robotic arms, cameras, and autonomous navigation.
