Intuition Robotics

Intuition Robotics is a Social Robots company founded in 2015 and based in Ramat Gan (Tel Aviv), Israel. It has raised $83M in total funding, most recently a Venture (growth) in 2023.

Intuition Robotics builds ElliQ, a proactive AI companion robot designed to reduce loneliness and support independent living for older adults. ElliQ combines an expressive tabletop 'head' unit with a touchscreen tablet and uses conversational AI, daily wellness check-ins, medication and appointment reminders, cognitive games, and video calling to provide companionship and health engagement. The company sells both direct-to-consumer and through partnerships with state and municipal agencies on aging — notably a multi-year deployment with the New York State Office for the Aging. Intuition Robotics was founded in 2015 in Ramat Gan, Israel (Tel Aviv metro) by CEO Dor Skuler, Roy Amir, and Itai Mendelsohn. The company has raised approximately USD 83M across seven rounds, including a USD 36M Series B in 2020 and a USD 25M round in August 2023 led by Woven Capital (Toyota's growth fund) with participation from Toyota Ventures, OurCrowd, and Western Technology Investment. Other investors include Samsung NEXT, iRobot, Sparx Group, and Terra Ventures. At CES 2024, Intuition Robotics launched ElliQ 3, and the company continues to iterate on multi-modal generative-AI features while expanding its agencies-on-aging and Medicare Advantage channel partnerships.

Intuition Robotics has the most mature commercial deployment model in the companion-robot category, with public-sector aging-services contracts giving it a differentiated go-to-market versus direct-to-consumer peers — and a cautionary contrast to Embodied's shutdown.

Abstract
System And Method Thereof For Determining Availability Of A User For Interaction With A Digital Assistant
US12284256
Abstract A method for determining availability of a user for interaction with a digital assistant comprises: determining if the user is present in a predetermined proximity to an input/output (I/O) device; collecting, at least real-time data about the user and historical user-agent interaction data for the user when the user is present; determining, a current user availability score based on at least the collected real-time data and the historical user-agent interaction data to derive an optimal time for interaction initiation by the digital assistant; and executing a plan selected from amongst a plurality of plans, the selected plan having a user availability score best matching the current user availability score, wherein each of the plurality of plans is designed to be executed by the digital assistant via the I/O device.

Abstract
Customizing Setup Features Of Electronic Devices
US12023798
Abstract A method and system for customizing setup of features of an electronic device. The method includes collecting user data related to a user using the electronic device, wherein the user data is collected, in part, using at least one sensor connected to the electronic device; analyzing the collected user data to determine for each user action of a plurality of user actions a corresponding probability score, wherein a probability score is a probability that the user chooses to perform a particular subsequent user action from the plurality of user actions, wherein a user action of the plurality of user actions is enabled by a setup plan; selecting based on the probability scores at least one setup plan corresponding to an action having the highest probability score; and configuring a feature of the electronic device based on the selected setup plan.
