## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2019, Expper Technologies, Inc is a developer of an emotional support robot created to reduce stress among pediatric patients. The company's robot connects through natural interactions and emotions, adapts to patients' needs, and offers peer-to-peer interaction to create a fun, entertaining, and comfortable environment, thereby enabling the patients to overcome stress, fear, and anxiety. As of the end of 2021, the company operates 15 units in medical facilities.  In January 2022, Expper Technologies, Inc., raised USD 2 million in Seed funding co-led by new investors Starta VC, Liqvest, and Formula VC with participation from other new investors AiSprouts, Angelsdeck, and Healthcare Equity Angels. Returning investor SmartGateVC also participated in this round. As of 2022, the company is headed by Co-Founder and CEO Karen Khachikyan. 

The company’s team of engineers, researchers, developers, clinical experts, and psychologists developed Robin the Robot, an Autonomous Care Assistant meant to promote cooperation between pediatric patients and medical staff while reducing their stress. The robot uses emotional AI and autonomous technology advances to support caregiving functions and extend care services. Expper Technologies provides two robots—Robin for The Dental Clinics, and Robin for The Hospitals. Both robots have a Telepresence mode and a Human-Guided mode.

The company will use the Seed funding to advance Robin’s technology for pediatric patients and expand its team.
