Burt®

Burt® is an upper-limb rehabilitation robot from Barrett Technology, LLC, used in neurological therapy for patients recovering from stroke, traumatic brain injury, and related conditions. It combines robotic assistance with haptic exercises and embedded strength assessments, allowing clinicians to guide therapy and track motor performance over time.

Publicly available details on Burt’s early development and first release are limited in my reference knowledge, so I cannot reliably pin down a founding year or end year. The system is known as part of Barrett Technology’s work in haptics and rehabilitation robotics, but I do not have enough verified information to reconstruct a precise timeline without risking error.
