Nimble is building the autonomous supply chain powered by generalist superhumanoid robots. Nimble's intelligent general-purpose supply chain superhumanoid is the first robot in the world capable of performing all core warehouse tasks including storage, retrieval, picking, packing, sorting, kitting and more. Our proprietary robot replaces dozens of complex systems, enabling autonomous warehouses that operate at a fraction of the cost and complexity of today’s leading systems.Our founding team comes from the AI labs at Stanford and Carnegie Mellon. Our board of directors includes famed robotics and AI icons Marc Raibert (founder of Boston Dynamics), Sebastian Thrun (founder of Google X and Waymo) and Fei-Fei Li (former Chief Scientist of AI at Google, Director of Stanford's AI Lab, creator of ImageNet, and CEO of World Labs).

🤖 Hello! Welcome to Andromeda. We’re a robotics company, working to make a positive difference in the world.We’re building Abi, the world’s first truly empathetic companion robot, who isn’t just designed to assist, but to be your best friend. With a heart full of empathy and a spirit of kindness, Abi creates deep, meaningful connections with people, making the world a little warmer, a little brighter, and a lot more connected. Just like the beloved characters in your favourite stories, Abi is here to listen, understand, and share joyful moments.Abi, has been co-developed with aged care and assisted living homes to:🤗 Provide personalised companionship to residents more often🤗 Interact and connect with residents individually and in groups🤗 Genuinely relate to each person – speaking their preferred language, and remembering faces, names and conversations🤗 Meaningfully connect with residents, improving health & wellbeing🤖 Invite Abi to meet your team Visit andromedarobotics.ai for more info and to book a demo with Abi. We’re currently working with aged care and assisted living homes in Australia and the US, and we’d love to bring Abi to meet you and your team.✋ Keen to join our team? We’re always happy to hear from talented people, keen to be part of our mission. If you’d like to build the future with us (and Abi), connect with us here or via our website.

Chef’s mission is to empower humans by accelerating the advent of intelligent machines in the world.We believe physical AI (robots that can perceive, reason, and act in the real world) represents the next frontier of AI. While software AI has transformed how we work and communicate, the physical world still runs largely on human labor. That world represents 90% of global GDP, and it’s where AI’s impact will be most profound.Nowhere is this more evident than in food. In 2023, there were over 1.1 million unfilled jobs in food preparation and service. These labor shortages are forcing food companies to leave millions of dollars in unmet demand on the table each year and driving more of the food supply chain offshore, creating significant risks for US food security.Chef Robotics is building physical AI for food. Our AI-enabled robots handle the flexible, variable work of food assembly and preparation (work that has historically required human intervention). By deploying robots that learn from real production data across hundreds of ingredients and customers, we’ve built the world’s largest real-world food manipulation dataset and become the market leader in food robotics.The result: food companies can meet demand, grow production, and keep their supply chains onshore, while their teams focus on the work that humans do best.
