“RobotLAB is on the cutting-edge of robotics technology, and we’re confident in our ability to identify truly innovative products like NAO and Pepper, which are two of the most impressive, game-changing robots available today,” said Elad Inbar, founder and CEO of RobotLAB. “We are excited to extend our partnership with the same group of people under the new ownership of URG, as this has been a longstanding and valued alliance fueled by the growing demand for AI-based business efficiencies. Our continued partnership will ensure NAO and Pepper benefit their sectors with intelligent software solutions, full-service deployment, and our own deep knowledge of robotics.”

As URG’s strategic partner, RobotLAB is the only provider of standard operating procedures, onsite deployment, annual service packages, consultation, learning management systems, curricula and training for Pepper and NAO – as with all robots in RobotLAB’s diverse portfolio. RobotLAB has integrated NAO into K-12 schools and universities across the country and is currently deploying more than 150 STEM carts, which include NAO robots, to every public school in American Samoa as part of a landmark edtech deal designed to educate students on robotics and AI developments and reinforce career and college readiness. The company also developed the exclusive NAO AI-Edition, which uses chatbots and other tools to make AI accessible through robots. Providing a myriad of business solutions, Pepper is a versatile customer service robot that can be tailored to meet the needs of banks, hospitals, assisted living centers, cannabis retailers, hotels and more. As labor shortages persist and businesses look for new ways to innovate, Pepper offers a friendly face and versatile programming options that fit businesses of any scale and specialty.
