Henry Evans, at age 40, was left mute and quadriplegic after a stroke-like attack triggered by a hidden birth defect. His commitment to adapt led him to explore the use of robotics for increasing independence in daily activities. Through intensive therapy, he regained the ability to move his head and use a finger, which allows him to communicate via a head-tracking device interfacing with computers.

In his quest for autonomy, Evans co-founded Robots for Humanity, an organization dedicated to aiding those with severe physical disabilities through robotics. Alongside his wife, Jane, who assists him as a caregiver, Evans has worked extensively with leading robotic technologists to enhance the quality of life for individuals like himself.

As an influential figure in both the disabled and technological communities, Evans shares his insights and advancements openly, aiming to foster greater independence for disabled individuals globally. His efforts extend beyond personal achievements and into broader advocacy and public speaking, where he leverages his story to inspire and educate others about the potential of technology in overcoming physical limitations.
