Labrador Systems Raises $3.1M For Assistive Robots

Calabasas-based Labrador Systems, a startup developing assistive robots for the disabled, has raised $3.1M in a seed funding, the company said this week. The funding was led by Amazon's Alexa Fund and iRobot Ventures, and also included SOV and Grep VC. The company said it has launched a new type of personal robot called the "Labrador Retriever" which it says helps individuals to live more independently. The company says its robot lightens the load for individuals where pain, injury or other health conditions impact their daily activities.
