Hubei Maxnova Technology Co., Ltd - 湖北光谷盛创科技有限公司

Hubei Maxnova Technology Co., Ltd, marketed under the brand Maxnova and also known by its Chinese name Guanggu Shengchuang, is a wholly owned robotics subsidiary of Maxvision Technology, an A-share main-board listed company trading under stock code SZSE: 002990. Maxnova is headquartered at the Shengshi Innovation Technology Plaza on Shendun Third Road in the East Lake New Technology Development Zone of Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. The company positions itself as a high-technology enterprise integrating research and development, manufacturing, sales, and after-sales service across a broad catalog of commercial and institutional service robots, drawing on its parent's artificial-intelligence and robotics technology base.

Maxnova organizes its products into six lines: education and research robots, healthcare and senior-care robots, inspection and verification robots, consultation and reception robots, commercial cleaning robots, and firefighting robots. Its education and research line is built on the NAO humanoid robot platform, offered as NAO Mini for early STEM introduction, NAO Explorer for K-12 classrooms, NAO 6 for higher-education robotics and AI research, and NAO Plus for advanced research use. The company states that its NAO-based robots, featuring 25 degrees of freedom, multimodal perception, and the Choregraphe graphical programming environment together with multilingual programming APIs, have been adopted by more than 600 universities and laboratories across over 70 countries for coursework in computer vision, human-robot interaction, and algorithm development. The same humanoid platform extends into elder care through the NAO JoyLife companion robot and a NAO 6-based therapy-assistant configuration, aimed at companionship, interaction, and daily-living support in senior-care settings.

Beyond the humanoid line, Maxnova manufactures inspection and verification robots, including vehicle-undercarriage inspection units, wheel-legged inspection platforms, and outdoor patrol robots equipped with thermal imaging, autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, and two-way audio-video intercom for round-the-clock monitoring at airports, seaports, and industrial parks. Its consultation and reception line includes wheeled humanoid-style service robots for customer-facing guidance and material-transport assistance, while its commercial cleaning range spans indoor and outdoor autonomous cleaning robots for large public and industrial floor areas. The firefighting robot line, among the company's heaviest-duty offerings, includes reconnaissance, dry-powder suppression, medium-expansion foam suppression, and smoke-exhaust variants built on a tracked, tank-style chassis with a sealed steel structure, explosion-proof headlamps and camera housing, ultrasonic obstacle avoidance, and an 800-kilogram payload capacity for hazardous, high-temperature environments.

As a subsidiary of a listed parent, Maxnova's own founding year, headcount, and standalone financial figures are not separately disclosed on its corporate website, and no distinct stock listing or financing round applies to the subsidiary itself. The company markets its products domestically and, per its own materials, has achieved sales presence in more than 70 countries, with stated application depth in smart customs and border-inspection scenarios in China.
