ATDev

What ATDev does

ATDev (Assistive Technology Development, Inc.) is a US-based, privately-held assistive technology and medical device company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Orange, California, with distributed engineering offices in Pittsburgh, Nashville, and across the broader United States. The company operates a small team of 1-10 employees led by CEO and co-founder Todd Roberts (UC Berkeley exoskeleton researcher and PI of federal Reflex grants) and CMO and co-founder Owen Kent (a lifelong assistive technology user living with muscular dystrophy), supported by CTO William Emfinger, Ph.D. (former CTO of Max Mobility and R&D Director at Permobil) and COO Dave Wilkinson (30 years of med device and engineering management experience). ATDev's mission is to develop robotic assistive technology that expands independence for people with physical disabilities.

ATDev's core products are two FDA-relevant robotic systems. The flagship commercial product, Reflex, is a telehealth-enabled Class II FDA Listed robotic rehabilitation device for orthopedic knee recovery; it weighs under 5 pounds, features WiFi-enabled continuous biometric monitoring of exercise adherence, range of motion, strength, and recovery progress, and provides adaptive guided exercises with remote clinician oversight and insurance reimbursement compatibility. The second program, RAMMP (Robotic Assistive Mobility and Manipulation Platform), is an open-source intelligent wheelchair-mounted robotic arm platform developed as part of the $41 million ARPA-H RAMMP initiative led by the University of Pittsburgh Human Engineering Research Laboratories, with ATDev operating as a subcontractor alongside Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Northeastern, Purdue, Kinova Robotics, LUCI Mobility, NVIDIA, and AWS.

ATDev's business model combines hardware sales of the Reflex device with insurance reimbursement, federal government contracting through the RAMMP subcontract, and subscription-style recurring telehealth services bundled with the device. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales with 'Request Demo' CTAs targeting healthcare providers, rehabilitation centers, and end-user patients, supported by thought-leadership content marketing through the company's podcast, LinkedIn, YouTube, and earned media coverage. The company has raised approximately $3 million in seed funding (October 2025, led by Dobrzelecki Legacy Ventures) and $13.4 million in government grants in 2025, with total disclosed funding of roughly $16.6 million since a 2022 SkyDeck Berkeley pre-seed.
