SoftBank Robotics Europe, is teaming with the United Robotics Group, to develop and expand its Pepper & NAO robots business in Europe.


Starting October 1st, 2021, the United Robotics Group will manage and develop new sales, services support and maintenance in European countries for Pepper & NAO humanoid robots.

Founded by Thomas Hähn, the United Robotics Group is uniting an ecosystem of start-ups in robotics. Part of the ecosystem are the companies Rethink Robotics, United Robotics Group Health & Food, Geenial, Humanizing Technologies, Entrance Robotics and RobShare. Some of its members, such as Humanizing Technologies and Entrance Robotics are coming from the SoftBank Robotics Partners ecosystem and already have a deep knowledge of Pepper and NAO robots.

Furthermore, the United Robotics Group will leverage the existing network of Pepper & NAO partners and their solutions all across Europe. With existing offices in Germany and Austria and a new one opening in Paris, France, the United Robotics Group is becoming a major actor in the European Robotics market.  

“Pepper & NAO are iconic robots, and we believe they have a future in order to help democratize the adoption of service robotics. The size of our ecosystem and strong portfolio of companies allows us to start a deep cooperation with SoftBank Robotics Europe and with the Pepper & NAO Partners in the region. We are proud to open our very first office in France in close collaboration with SoftBank Robotics Europe’s talented team.” said Thomas Haehn, CEO of United Robotics Group.  

“This Master Distributor agreement will allow SoftBank Robotics Europe to fully focus on the design of robotics hardware, software and cloud services. With United Robotics Group we aim to enter into a strategic alliance between France and Germany to keep selling Pepper & NAO and to collaborate on the next opportunities in robotics.” said Xavier Lacherade, COO of SoftBank Robotics Europe.
