Who Are We?

We are a partnership of organizations that represent all spheres of JDQ’s 3Spheres of Reciprocity model. 3Spheres is a philosophy and model for healthy, optimal, and successful community engagement. It is a paradigm for social responsibility and cooperative, mutually beneficial relationships grown from the fundamental understanding that only through the symbiosis of the spheres of Helping, Profiting and Learning can we all thrive. It reflects our obligation to maximize positive impact and minimize negative impact on society. It expresses our values of mutualism, respect & equality.

The 3Spheres Robotics Project includes:

• non-profits that provide long-term care for people with developmental disabilities and older adults
• for-profits the have managed and successfully delivered custom technology projects for over 20 years
• researchers, mostly at the PhD and Post-Doc level, that are paid to delve into their favourite robotics field of study
• funders that recognize and value investments that have a high potential for ROI and a strong social investment in their community
