NAO V1
Aldebaran RoboticsNAO is a small humanoid robot (~58 cm, 5.2 kg, 25 DOF) originally developed by Aldebaran Robotics (France, founded 2005), later owned by SoftBank Robotics Europe, and now acquired by Maxvision Technology Corp. (Shenzhen) following Aldebaran's judicial liquidation in early 2025. Over 20,000 units have been sold across 70+ countries, primarily for education, research, healthcare, and therapy. The robot is programmable and capable of autonomous task execution (speech, navigation, interaction) but has been independently criticized as limited in capability and robustness compared to modern humanoids. A successor entity (NAO Robotics SA) and NAO V7 are reportedly in development.
