Featured Robots

SoftBank Robotics’ portfolio includes robots, each with their own unique capabilities:

• Pepper : The world's first humanoid robot that can recognize emotions, Pepper stands out with its 1.21-meter-tall and cute design. Equipped with facial recognition, natural speech and emotional response capabilities, this robot increases customer interaction in areas such as retail, hospitality and education.

• NAO : With its small size (58 cm) and programmable structure, NAO is ideal especially for education and research. While it introduces students to robotics in STEM classes, it is also used as a therapy assistant in the health sector.

• Whiz : An autonomous cleaning robot, Whiz fully automates floor cleaning in large areas (offices, hotels, hospitals). It offers consistent cleaning by avoiding obstacles with its advanced sensors and mapping technology.

Technology and Areas of Use

SoftBank Robotics combines technologies such as artificial intelligence, emotion recognition, and autonomous navigation to make its robots more versatile. Pepper greets customers and provides information in shopping malls, while NAO helps children with autism develop social skills by communicating with them, and Whiz reduces staff burden in facility management and increases operational efficiency. The company operates more than 35,000 systems in more than 70 countries with these robots.

SoftBank's Robotics Vision

SoftBank Robotics sees robots not as machines but as “cobotics” (collaborative robotics) that work together with humans. The company is constantly developing its robotics solutions using its extensive partner network and the SoftBank Group’s technological infrastructure. It also aims to make this technology available to a wider audience, with the aim of producing affordable and accessible robots.
