Pool Buddy™
Intelligent Pool Maintenance Robot

Pool Buddy is a patented robotic system (granted in 2024) designed to automate swimming pool
maintenance. Developed as part of Andromeida’s journey in underwater robotics, Pool Buddy
reflects our expertise in creating reliable, intelligent robots for real-world water environments.
While the cleaning stack remains a work-in-progress, the true innovation lies in its automated
water chemistry optimization system, making it a first-of-its-kind solution in India.

Smarter Chemistry, Healthier Pools

Unlike conventional pool vacuums that only manage physical debris, Pool Buddy focuses on the
science of water balance. Uses a dedicated sensor stack to monitor six critical parameters: pH, TDS,
Cyanuric Acid, Temperature, Alkalinity, and Carbonate Scales. Applies the Langelier Saturation Index
(LSI) to interpret these readings and balance water chemistry on a numeric scale of –5 to +5, where 0
represents ideal pool health. This ensures optimized chemical dosing, safer water for swimmers, and
reduced operating costs for pool owners.

Field Validation

Through three working prototypes and multiple pilot deployments in residential societies across Gurgaon and Bangalore, Pool Buddy has validated its concept. Pilot stakeholders emphasized the importance of automated chemistry control in reducing manual intervention and improving pool health.

What’s Next:

Pool Buddy is currently earmarked for further R&D with two key focus areas:

  • Advancing the cleaning stack to complement water chemistry management with full robotic cleaning.
  • Integration of autonomous decision-making and dosing systems for end-to-end pool maintenance.

From Pools to Oceans

Pool Buddy is more than just a standalone product; it represents Andromeida’s roots in underwater
robotics R&D. The same spirit of innovation that built Pool Buddy has scaled into UUR (Unmanned
Underwater Robot), our flagship platform designed for broader oceanic research and industrial use
cases.

For investors and pool stakeholders, Pool Buddy stands as a proof point of Andromeida’s capacity to
develop disruptive water-domain robotics—from human pools to the vast oceans.

Frequently asked questions

Got questions? Here are our most frequently asked questions

For a first-time user with a technical background like yours, operating UUR™ would be straightforward. The interface is designed to be user-friendly, with guided workflows and setup wizards that simplify installation and calibration. However, some familiarity with sensors, hardware connections, or data interfaces will definitely help speed up the learning process. First-time users without a technical background may require more initial training but can still operate it after going through tutorials.

The Academic Edition is optimized for educational purposes. It includes simulation tools, learning modules, and limited hardware interfacing options to help students and researchers experiment without requiring full-scale deployment.
The Quest Edition, on the other hand, is intended for field operations, real-time data acquisition, and industrial use cases. It supports a wider range of sensors, higher data throughput, and customization options. Based on your work in projects like vehicle tuning and diagnostics, the Quest Edition would likely suit hands-on applications where hardware integration and precise measurements are critical.

Yes, customization is one of UUR™’s key strengths. It supports integration with external sensors, diagnostic tools, and interfaces, much like how you are preparing to work with the Vgate vLinker MC+ for your Street Triple 675. Custom configurations require proper communication protocols (e.g., CAN, UART, or Bluetooth) and calibration parameters. Users with engineering experience can extend its capabilities or adapt it for specialized use cases like automotive tuning or environmental monitoring.

The operational limits depend on the specific configuration. Typically, the Quest Edition is built for industrial environments with protection against dust, vibration, and temperature fluctuations. If it’s used in automotive or outdoor applications, it can withstand depths up to a few meters underwater and temperature ranges from –20°C to +60°C, similar to rugged sensors in vehicle diagnostics. You would need to follow safety guidelines to ensure sensor waterproofing and proper enclosure.

A basic technical orientation covering system setup, sensor calibration, and data interpretation is required. For someone like you—familiar with vehicle systems, diagnostic tools, and hardware—training would mostly focus on interface workflows and safety protocols. For other users, the platform offers structured tutorials, troubleshooting guides, and hands-on workshops to build confidence before full deployment.

UUR™ is designed with ruggedized components to operate in challenging underwater environments. Its housing is typically rated IP68 or higher, ensuring protection against prolonged submersion, corrosion, and pressure. It can handle saltwater exposure, shock, and vibration—conditions similar to those encountered in offshore or automotive testing setups. However, proper sealing and periodic maintenance are necessary to ensure continued performance in highly abrasive or chemically reactive environments.

The battery life depends on the sensor load and operational mode. Under standard conditions, UUR™ can operate continuously for 8–12 hours, with power-saving modes extending this to 18–20 hours in low-activity scenarios. For longer missions, external power sources or hot-swappable battery packs are supported. This flexibility allows users like you, who are used to extended testing scenarios (for example, long diagnostic runs), to adapt the system to mission requirements without compromising reliability.

Deployment is designed to be efficient, especially for field engineers. With pre-configured mission profiles and automated calibration routines, a trained user can deploy UUR™ within 10–20 minutes. This includes powering up, sensor alignment, and system checks. For rapid response scenarios, Andromeida also offers quick-start guides and remote support tools that further reduce setup time.

Andromeida offers comprehensive support tailored to technical users like you:

  • Remote diagnostics and troubleshooting assistance
  • Firmware updates for performance optimization
  • Hardware maintenance kits and spares for field repairs
  • Training modules and user manuals to ensure correct operation
  • On-demand support for mission-critical applications, including advice on sensor integration and calibration Warranty and extended service plans are also available to ensure uninterrupted usage in demanding conditions.

Yes, UUR™ supports synchronized operation across multiple units. Through wireless or wired networks, data can be aggregated in real time, enabling coordinated mapping, sensor fusion, and redundancy. This makes it ideal for larger operations such as environmental monitoring, fleet diagnostics, or complex testing setups. Users with experience in multi-sensor systems—like yourself working on advanced vehicle tuning or diagnostics—can configure and control these units to scale operations efficiently.
