Expper Technologies, founded in 2017 by Karen Khachikyan, Hayk Khorasanjyan, Davit Martirosyan, and Areg Gasparyan, is a health-tech company that created Robin the Robot, an emotionally intelligent companion for healthcare settings. The company's CEO, Karen Khachikyan, has a background in electrical and electronics engineering, having worked as a design engineer at Synopsys before founding Expper.
The company's core product, Robin the Robot, is an autonomous care assistant designed to alleviate stress and anxiety in pediatric patients and provide social and cognitive support for the geriatric population. Robin uses AI-based technology to analyze emotions through facial expressions and conversational context, allowing for personalized and dynamic interactions. Its features include providing emotional support, playful education, patient monitoring, and telepresence capabilities. For children, Robin helps reduce fear of medical procedures through games and explanations, while for seniors, it helps mitigate loneliness and cognitive decline through engaging conversations and activities.
Expper Technologies operates on a business model that includes the sale and leasing of its robots to healthcare institutions, with potential for subscription services for software updates and maintenance. The company targets hospitals, pediatric clinics, and assisted living facilities. Since its inception, the company has deployed its robots in over 20 medical facilities across the United States. Expper has secured a total of $2.5M in funding, including a $2M seed round in January 2022 led by Starta VC and Formula VC. Robin the Robot was recognized as one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2021 and was an honoree in Fast Company's 2021 Innovation by Design Awards.
