About SoftBank Robotics

SoftBank Robotics is the robotics arm of Japan’s SoftBank Group, organized under SoftBank Robotics Group Corp., a Tokyo holding company established in January 2012 that oversees the group’s robot businesses and carries out robot product research and development. It became a household name in service robotics with Pepper, the humanoid robot launched in 2014 for customer-facing roles in retail, hospitality, education and care settings, later recognized as the world’s first mass-produced humanoid robot. Its commercial range has since shifted toward practical service work: Whiz, an autonomous AI cleaning robot sold to facility operators from 2019, surpassed 10,000 units in cumulative worldwide sales by 2020, and Servi is a multi-tray delivery robot for restaurants and similar venues.

Alongside its own products, the group now positions itself as a "robot integrator," helping businesses select, introduce and operate robots — including third-party machines — and helping robot makers bring products to market, with newer lines in logistics automation and food-service robotics. The company states that more than 40,000 of its robots have been produced and that its robots are used in over 70 countries, spanning retail, tourism, healthcare, finance, education, facilities management and cleaning. It is listed as the most widely deployed name in social and commercial service robotics.
