Maxvision buys core robot assets of Aldebaran, including Nao and Pepper - The Robot Report
Founded in 2005, Paris-based Aldebaran focused on the design, development, production, and commercialization of humanoid robots. The company served a wide range of sectors, including education, scientific research, healthcare, and retail. Aldebaran designed its bipedal Nao and wheeled Pepper to be non-threatening. The robots are shorter than adults and are designed with curved white surfaces. Nao, Aldebaran’s first system, replaced Honda’s Asimo in the annual RoboCup soccer tournaments. The company released the first version of Pepper in 2014. The company said it had sold about 20,000 Nao robots and 17,000 Pepper humanoids to 70 countries, but it stopped producing Pepper in 2020 or 2021. In June, a judicial panel put Aldebaran in receivership. [...]

[...] The latest enhancements to ASIMO (which is short for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility) include the ability to run at four miles per hour and increased artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities for improved human interaction. The advanced AI capabilities allow this latest version ASIMO to interact with a live host in a 15-minute science show at the Honda ASIMO Theater inside the Innoventions attraction. Innoventions is located in Tomorrowland at the Disneyland park and offers hands-on experience of current technologies. [...] ASIMO is truly a feat of robotic design with the ability to run, walk, climb stairs and take direction from a person. And this is one busy robot. In addition to the TV advertising campaign, ASIMO has attended such as activities as the launch of a Honda Science Scholarship at the Tallinn University of Technology in Estonia and the 100th Anniversary celebrations of the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy races.
