Companion robots · Custom development
AI companion robot OEM & ODM — desktop, in-car and senior care companions
We develop custom desktop robots with expressive eyes and motion, in-car companions that react to the drive, and care lamps that check in on an elderly parent. Projects start with a development phase (NRE) and samples welcome; proven robots in volume production can also be OEM-branded as yours. A companion is judged on presence — how it looks at you, moves and remembers — which is a hardware problem as much as an AI one.
Who usually comes to us
Consumer electronics brands
A desktop companion as a hero product for gifting and the home office.
Automotive and aftermarket
Dashboard companions for car makers and accessory channels, connected to the vehicle by Bluetooth, CAN or USB.
Elderly care providers
Companion lamps with reminders and check-ins that family members can see from an app.
IP and character brands
A character that lives on the desk, with its own voice, expressions and memory.
Reference designs
Reference designs, not photographs of stock. Each project is customised to your brand: the shell, the colourway and the feature set are all yours to change.
What decides a companion robot
Expression and motion
Eyes on LCD or LED matrix, head and body motion on servos, timed to the voice. When expression lags speech, the illusion breaks.
Hearing in real rooms and cars
Far-field microphone arrays and sound-source localisation so the robot hears and turns to the speaker over TV noise, music or road noise.
Memory and persona
Long-term memory of names, preferences and past conversations, inside a persona that stays consistent — the difference between a companion and a speaker.
Updates after shipping
Firmware, expressions, voices and content update over the air, rolled out in batches, so the robot improves in the customer’s home.

Two ways to develop with us
Development on an existing platform
We reuse our dialogue, voice and app platform and develop the robot’s shell, colours, persona and branding for you. A development phase (NRE) comes first; this is a project, not a catalog purchase.
Best for: Validating a market with a shorter development path
Fully custom robot
New form factor, motion and sensing designed around your use case — vehicle interface, health sensing or a character shape.
Best for: Car makers, care providers, IP owners

Questions buyers ask
How does the car companion connect to the vehicle?
Over Bluetooth, CAN bus or USB, chosen per vehicle project, so it can react to the car’s audio and status.
Can the robot remember its owner?
Yes — long-term memory of names, preferences and important dates, with user data that can be viewed and deleted.
What sensing is available for elderly care?
Depending on the design: voice check-ins and reminders, PPG and mmWave radar presence or vital-sign sensing, with alerts to family in the app.
Is my design protected?
An NDA is signed before specifications change hands, and ownership of tooling, firmware and app assets is written into the contract.
