Introduction

Adaptive Philosophy Foundation is a Christian nonprofit charitable veteran benefit organization based in Olympia, WA (EIN 41-2423064). It is considering a project to help people in the Olympia and Washington area bring robotics and AI into their lives.

Project areas

1. Robots and assistive tech for household tasks and ADLs (activities of daily living) for people with developmental disabilities.
2. AI and robotics resources and education for people with mental illness.
3. A program to help both groups access these resources and this education.

The gap

Research done on 2026-10-16 found no company that builds daily-living robots specifically for people with developmental disabilities. The closest work is:

• Remote-support tech: SimplyHome, Rest Assured, Sengistix
• Assistive robots: Hello Robot Stretch, Labrador Retriever, Obi, Kinova
• UW research groups: UW CREATE, the Personal Robotics Lab

The foundation could help fill this gap.

The Director

Daniel Bryan Boice has hands-on, trained experience working with people with developmental disabilities, plus interests in technology, psychology and philosophy. He is currently studying math, data science and AI.
