  • Hossein Dehghani, Chief Technology Officer at Human in Motion Robotics Inc.
    Jan 22 2026

    In this episode of Behind The Robot, we speak with Hossein Dehghani, CTO at Human In Motion Robotics Inc. in British Columbia, Canada. Hossein breaks down what the CTO role looks like in a robotics start-up, spanning product roadmap, system architecture, R and D, stakeholder alignment, and building the right technical culture across a multidisciplinary team.


    Hossein shares how his early exposure to university robotics groups shaped his approach to systems thinking and end to end problem solving. He also outlines his career path through mechatronics, product development, and innovation in advanced power wheelchairs, before joining Human In Motion Robotics and progressing into leadership.


    A key focus is the real world impact of self balancing exoskeleton technology, including moments from clinical deployment that show how mobility independence changes lives for people living with neurological conditions. The conversation also explores what will shape robotics over the next decade, including human centric design, trust and perceived safety, digital twins, simulation driven development, human robot interfaces, and sensor fusion.
