Travis Deyle

Travis Deyle is the CEO and co-founder of Cobalt Robotics. He is an acclaimed scientist and technologist with extensive experience and academic publications in robotics, RFID, and sensing technologies. He obtained his PhD in Robotics from Georgia Tech, where he was a founding member of Prof. Charlie Kemp's Healthcare Robotics Lab. A core tenet of the lab was “deploy robots to real environments and interact with real people.” He builts some of the first mobile robots capable of operating in real homes, including his own. Enabled by long-range radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags -- an internet of things (IOT) technology -- he used these robots to demonstrate useful healthcare tasks such as robot-mediated medication delivery, fetching and retrieving tagged objects, and helping older adults and people with motor impairments with activities of daily living.
