Mission

Andromeda builds Abi, a next-generation humanoid companion robot and has launched its latest model. The company will begin first deployments at a mecwacare aged care home this month. Andromeda plans to focus initially on aged care as it expands into the US while continuing to scale operations and teams in Australia. The raise is intended to accelerate US expansion, fast-track the Australian waitlist, and support hiring across engineering and customer success. In the US the company is prioritising recruitment of creative and animation robotics specialists. Andromeda emphasised the funding will help bring Abi’s companionship to more customers and partners across aged care and other sectors. Andromeda Robotics builds Abi, a humanoid companion robot designed to provide companionship and support to older adults in aged care facilities and children in hospitals. Abi was developed with input from Disney and Pixar animators and uses AI and machine learning to customize interactions, respond to questions, express emotions, recognize faces, and remember past interactions. The robot assists with daily tasks and offers social and cognitive support to enhance users' quality of life and independence. Abi's personality will be customizable through an upcoming app, with options such as a 'sarcastic coach' highlighted as popular. Andromeda has progressed with limited funding and recently raised a $3 million seed round to scale Abi across Australia. The company plans to use the new capital to improve Abi's capabilities, grow the team, and move to larger manufacturing facilities in South Melbourne.
