#Zoom: Aldebaran, the market leader in humanoid robots, is looking for a new partner

Aldebaran, the market leader in humanoid robots, is looking for a strategic partner to accelerate the wide-scale development and deployment of its innovative technology. Accompanied by EY (Matthieu Carlier, Julie Van de Velde, Charles Antoine Matteoli) in the role of exclusive financial advisers, Aldebaran is preparing to enter a new growth phase.

Founded in 2005 in Paris and owned by United Robotics Group GmbH, a German company specialising in robotic solutions, Aldebaran designs intelligent, intuitive robotics to transform day-to day learning, health and well-being, with a particular focus on private and public sectors such as schools, hospitals, learning institutions and government.

State-of-the-art technology expertise

With almost 20 years of research and development to its name, Aldebaran stands out for technology that integrates the very latest in artificial intelligence and robotic solutions. The company has filed 182 patents and owns 100 % of the intellectual property rights in the design and innovation of its robots, with more than 40 major developments.

Thanks to a team of 176 experts, Aldebaran is the only company that manages its entire societal robot value chain, from design to pre-industrialisation, and mass production to sale. The company’s agility means that it is capable of developing new models in just 9 months, from prototype to first in series, with the option of direct sale or the use of RaaS (Robot as a Service).

All of Aldebaran’s robots are developed in France, are fully compliant with European standards (Machines Directive 2006/42/CE), including GDPR, and are certified in terms of cybersecurity. As well as meeting all safety standards, these solutions are associated with European cloud services for a secure, smooth user experience.

An ambitious business plan in an expanding market

Since the launch of its first robots in 2006, Aldebaran has sold more than 35 000 robots to date and has built its offer around four key verticals: education, health, retail, and hospitality.

As the leader in the sectors of education, care for the elderly, and societal robots, Aldebaran endeavours to address urgent social challenges by creating robotic solutions to improve autonomy for seniors, assist teachers and students with advanced teaching tools, and foster quality of working life.

The company is evolving in a growing global market that is estimated to be worth 8.6 billion Euros by 2027, and has forecast turnover of 44 million Euros in 2025 and 150 million Euros in 2027. In order to achieve these targets Aldebaran plans to extend its range of products by 2026 and improve profit margins with new solutions, including a SaaS offer and its cloud platform CobiotX.

With a strong business model and a strategy that focuses on future needs, Aldebaran is well positioned to transform the landscape of societal robotics.
