      I currently make little soft robots for watching oil platforms, wind turbine and gas pipes. These robots are packed with all kinds of sensors and communications methods to watch everything that is happening around them and report back to a human.
      I have made robots for helping people who have had a stroke, these robots sit on the back of the persons hand and can move the hand when the person thinks to move the hand as it can read your thoughts through a headset.
