About
Intuition Robotics is the company behind ElliQ, an AI-powered companion robot that helps older adults age independently by reducing loneliness, promoting wellness, and keeping them connected to family and community. Designed specifically for older adults, ElliQ delivers proactive, personalized interactions based on each person’s routines, preferences, and goals. Through natural conversation, body language, and contextual awareness, ElliQ offers cognitive and physical wellness support, meaningful companionship, and daily motivation—fostering long-term engagement and behavioral change. At the core of ElliQ is a proprietary technology stack with a strong intellectual property foundation. Intuition Robotics holds 12 U.S. patents, many in the field of artificial intelligence and human-machine interaction, with more than 20 additional patents pending. The company partners with state governments, managed care organizations, and senior care providers to bring ElliQ to thousands of older adults across the U.S., including statewide partnerships in New York, impactful programs in Florida, and additional healthcare partnerships.
