Axyn Robotique

What Axyn Robotique does

AXYN Robotique is a privately-held French company founded in 2014 (incubated by Impulse) and headquartered in Meyreuil, France, that designs, manufactures, and commercializes telepresence service robots under the Ubbo brand. Its core products are the Ubbo Expert (a customizable 13.3-inch-screen telepresence robot with 360-degree head rotation, 8-hour battery life, and modular accessory architecture) and the Ubbo Maker (an open-source variant built around Arduino/Nucl\u00e9o control hardware with mecanum wheels for lateral movement, available as a kit or assembled). A third product, Ubbo Spot, is referenced in international market materials. The robots run Android OS and use WebRTC/OpenTok over HTTPS for audiovisual communication, integrating proximity and anti-fall sensors for autonomous navigation.

The company sells through a consultative direct-sales motion with quote-based pricing tailored to configuration, accessory packs (Home Care, Home Service, Home Security), and customer segment, supported by both French and English-language websites. Its primary served markets are Business/Enterprise, Education (schools, Acad\u00e9mies, Universit\u00e9s, IUTs), Seniors/Senior Care, and Healthcare; reference customers include Telecom Italia, multiple French Acad\u00e9mies, Universit\u00e9s, SAPAD, CRAMIF, and Astriane Didact. Reported customer logos are heavily concentrated in French public-sector education and healthcare procurement.

Revenue mechanics rest on hardware sales of Ubbo robots plus optional professional-services revenue from custom systems developed to client specification. Revenue and headcount are not publicly disclosed beyond a '1-10 employee' range; the company has no recorded external venture funding beyond the 2014 incubator round. AXYN positions around '100% French design and manufacture,' a portfolio of unenumerated telepresence patents, and a modular, open-architecture differentiation.

Revenue model

1. Hardware sales — telepresence robots: AXYN Robotique designs, manufactures, and commercialises service robots. The primary revenue stream is the sale of physical telepresence robots — Ubbo Expert and Ubbo Maker — along with optional packs and accessories (sensors, mechatronic modules). Robots are available in assembled or kit form (Ubbo Maker) and can be customised per customer requirements.
2. Custom systems and bespoke development: The company also designs custom systems to meet the specific needs of clients, suggesting a professional-services component for bespoke robotics solutions beyond the standard product catalogue.

Direct peers

• Ava Robotics: Telepresence robot vendor originally spun out of iRobot, targeting enterprise collaboration and healthcare use cases. Competes head-on with Ubbo Expert in the corporate and remote-presence segments.
• VGo Communications: Telepresence robot specifically targeting education and healthcare verticals — directly overlapping with AXYN's education and senior care focus and customer types (students, patients, clinicians).
• Kompaï Robotics: French developer of service and companion robots focused on senior care and healthcare — same geographic and vertical positioning as AXYN's Ubbo Maker and HomeCare pack, and a natural head-to-head in EHPADs.
• Suitable Tech (Beam): Early telepresence robot vendor (Beam Pro) with focus on enterprise remote collaboration and remote-presence use cases, similar in form factor and target audience to Ubbo Expert.
• Double Robotics: Closest direct competitor: US pioneer of wheeled telepresence robots (Double 3) targeting enterprise, education, and healthcare. Highly comparable product form factor, customer segments, and sales-led GTM.
• Blue Frog Robotics: French social/companion robotics company (Buddy) addressing education, healthcare, and retail — directly comparable 'French designer-manufacturer' positioning and overlapping customer segments with AXYN.
• OhmniLabs: Direct peer producing modular, customizable telepresence robots with developer-friendly APIs and a focus on education, healthcare, and senior care — closely aligned with Ubbo Expert and Ubbo Maker positioning.

Broad incumbents

• SoftBank Robotics (Pepper): Established humanoid/companion robotics incumbent with broad enterprise and healthcare deployments; offers overlapping human-robot interaction capabilities but does not specialize in the wheeled telepresence niche.

Emerging players

• Cybedro / Cybedroid: French-speaking emerging player in assistive and telepresence robotics with focus on education and healthcare; partial overlap with AXYN's modular, configurable robotics approach.

Regional players

• Inbot Technology: Spanish telepresence robot maker (PadBot) addressing education and remote-care use cases — comparable product but serving primarily Iberia/Latin America rather than France/Europe.
