About Aldebaran Robotics

Founded in 2005 by Bruno Maisonnier

Our vision: cute humanoid robot companions

Emotions Interactivity

Autonomy Personality

E-store

•  E-store: OS & app downloads, goodies

•  AskNao: website for the autism community

•  Developer community website

•  Fleet management & post-sale services

•  3rd party service providers (voice recognition, music, etc)

•  Supply chain, manufacturing, etc.

Cute robots need infrastructure too

•  Multiple projects, multiple technologies •  Robots in many territories •  Partners & suppliers across the globe •  High-availability mandatory

•  Zero reference point: totally new business •  No datacenter skills in the team •  Budget? Planning? Sizing? Scaling? Nope J •  Just rush to get things done!

To spice things up

•  Started to experiment with IAAS in late 2012 (EC2, S3)

•  Solution Architects convinced us PAAS was the way to go –  « Automatic » best practices on everything J –  RDS, ELB, Availability Zones –  VPC (private / public subnets), security groups

•  Deep integration between AWS and our web apps –  S3, CloudFront, IAM, SES –  Cloudwatch, Elastic BeansTalk, auto-scaling

•  Today: 2 regions (EU & APAC), 5 VPC, 150 EC2, 20 ELB

Our story with AWS

•  Aldebaran is just getting started •  We’re going to scale and expand globally: AWS will be a key

partner and we couldn’t be happier with our collaboration

•  PS: many open positions in R&D J Please get in touch at [email protected]
