Ask HN: I want to visit cool robot companies in Portland

Hi everyone. I'm from New Zealand + Austria. I'm a PhD student in HRI (Human-Robot-Interaction) and I'll attend the Human-Robot-Interaction (HRI) Conference in Portland at the beginning of March. I thought I could use this great opportunity to visit cool robotics companies (Best Social Robotics and IoT). Please let me know if you have any cool startups worth visiting.

Here you can find my session time/link: http://humanrobotinteraction.org/2015/program-2/abstracts-poster-session-iii/ - I worked on Fidgebot while doing an intership at Microsoft Research http://blog.fuselabs.org/post/97308195741/fidgebot-robot-experience
