Grace Brown, CEO and co-founder of Andromeda Robotics, joins Tash and Ana on this episode of Get Rich Slow Club. Grace shares her journey in creating Abby, a 110-cm humanoid companion robot designed to bring joy and connection to nursing homes and children's hospitals. With a background in mechatronics engineering, Grace brings innovation and heart to the world of social robotics.

Grace explains how her own experience with isolation during COVID inspired Abby’s creation. Motivated by a desire to combat loneliness, she turned a passion project into a groundbreaking business. Grace’s innovative approach combines cutting-edge technology with the emotional warmth of a Disney character brought to life.

The conversation highlights Grace’s resilience and creativity, from building early prototypes on a student budget to securing funding through pitch competitions. She discusses the challenges of starting a robotics company, her vision for Abby's future, and the profound impact the robot has had on people’s lives.
