Founded in 2005 and now a subsidiary of Maxvision Technologies as Maxtronics, the company develops humanoid robots – notably NAO and Pepper – for education, healthcare, and research applications. They’ve deployed over 20,000 NAO robots globally, focusing on assistive technologies like autism therapy and senior care, with a strong emphasis on data privacy and safety certifications. Maxtronics continues Aldebaran’s legacy, prioritizing purposeful robotics over performance, and recently showcased NAO at industry events like Adopt AI and Educatech 2025. Their key differentiator is a focus on ethical and impactful robotics solutions.
