Companion robots are entering a new stage of development, and Andromeda is one of the companies pushing that shift forward. The earliest version of Abi began as a simple prototype, yet it revealed something important. High quality interaction in age tech depends as much on reliability, latency, and engagement as it does on mechanical design. The market needed systems that could sustain meaningful connection at scale. Andromeda’s work has focused on that challenge. Abi’s evolution has moved from a lightweight 3D printed shell to a platform designed for consistent interaction, emotional responsiveness, and deployment inside real assisted living environments. The next iteration, Genesis Abi, builds on that foundation with improved sensing, better motion capability, and a broader interaction model shaped by direct feedback from residents and care providers. The company’s recent 15 million dollar Series A signals the growing demand for robotics that support aging populations with reliability and empathy. Age tech is becoming more sophisticated, and the bar for companion systems is rising quickly. Andromeda’s progress shows what is possible when interaction quality becomes the central design goal.
