About
Henry Clever is a robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of assistive technology, human-robot interaction, and mobile manipulation. His key contributions center on developing robotic systems that can physically collaborate with people in everyday environments, particularly to aid those with disabilities or limited mobility. Clever is perhaps best known for his role in designing Stretch, a compact, lightweight mobile manipulator for indoor human spaces (84 citations), which aims to lower the barrier to robot adoption in homes. He also pioneered TOORAD (62 citations), an optimization method for generating personalized, collaborative plans for robot-assisted dressing. His work extends into multimodal tactile perception (33 citations) and capacitive sensing for physical human-robot interaction, enabling robots to safely perceive and track the human body during tasks like dressing and bathing. Clever has also developed integrated systems combining robotic beds with mobile manipulators for bedside assistance. With over 230 total citations across his published works, his research is shaping the future of practical, in-home assistive robotics, making him a notable figure in the field of healthcare robotics.
