Over 1 billion people globally live with mental disorders, yet only 2.9 psychologists exist per 100,000 people worldwide, and just 9% of those with depression receive adequate treatment. Millions face emotional isolation with no access to professional or personal support, costing the global economy $1 trillion annually in lost productivity.

KR A1 is a full-scale humanoid companion robot with real-time emotion recognition, personalized voice cloning, custom face, progressive emotion tracking, and local LLM-powered intelligence for privacy. It adapts to each user's emotional state, recalls past interactions, and immediately alerts caregivers if distress signals are detected — providing accessible, around-the-clock emotional support.

KR A1 has filed a published patent (Application No. 202521097879), built a functional software prototype demonstrating conversational AI, memory recall, and personalized voice interaction, designed cad models, and has been accepted into the Microsoft Founder Hub (free Azure cloud credits) and the SolidWorks Startup Program (free CAD software for 1 year).
