- How it is organized
- The imprint names the owner of the site as Hello Robot Inc. at 825 Ferry St., Suite A, Martinez, CA 94553, and the about page says the company maintains offices in Atlanta, GA and Martinez, CA and manufactures all robots in-house at the Martinez facility; both are in the United States, so the headquarters is the United States and the record does not choose between the two offices, which the labs guide treats as no headquarters listed only when no country can be found at all. The two co-founders are named on the about page, Dr. Aaron Edsinger, a former Director of Robotics at Google, and Dr. Charlie Kemp, a former tenured professor at Georgia Tech, and it says the company was founded in 2017 and builds on the research from Kemp's lab; the record names the organization, not the founders, because a person is not a lab. It is an AI company because the platform's software, its ROS 2 packages, its Python bridge, and the grasping demo that runs named third-party models are what a customer buys alongside the hardware, and the reviewed robot record is that platform. It is recorded on the robot rather than a release because the catalog reviews no model of its own: the demo it ships calls Molmo 2, another organization's model, which is a fact about the record and not a release of Hello Robot's own. No parent organization is recorded: the pages read name no holding entity, and an investor named as an advisor is not one. Its site names no frontier-safety or scaling framework, so the field is omitted. Its about page says it maintains offices in Atlanta, Georgia and Martinez, California, and manufactures all robots in-house at Martinez. Both are in the headquarters country, so the review records nothing beyond it.
