The Bigger Picture

At Andromeda Robotics, we’re not just imagining the future of human-robot relationships, we’re building it. Abi is the first emotionally intelligent humanoid companion robot, designed to bring care, conversation, and joy to people who need it most. Backed by tier‑1 investors and with customers already deploying Abi across aged‑care and healthcare, we’re scaling fast in an engineering‑first culture obsessed with pushing the limits of what’s possible.

Our Values

- Empathy – Kindness and compassion are at the heart of everything we do
- Play – Play sharpens focus. It keeps us curious, fast and obsessed with the craft
- Never Settle – A relentless ambition, bias toward action, and uncomfortable levels of curiosity
- Tenacity – Tenacious under pressure, we assume chaos and stay in motion to adapt and progress
- Unity – Different minds, shared mission, no passengers
