Maxwell Opondo

We are proud of @YSTKenya Alumni Maxwell Opondo, founder of Zerobionic. The startup develops humanoid robots that help students to access science and technology lessons, which teachers find difficult to deliver in sign language. Well done Maxwell!👏 🔗reuters.com/video/watch/id…

Kenya’s tech momentum continues across Africa: Startup Zerobionic has been selected for Qualcomm’s 2026 Make in Africa programme, from 1,200+ applications across 45 countries. The Kenyan startup is building assistive robotics for persons with disabilities (PWDs). Real impact. Real innovation.

@Reuters Amazing stuff @innov_max and your team at @Zero_bionic 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

@Reuters It was amaizing sharing some of the work we do across Africa with @Zero_bionic

This Kenyan-built robotic arm is opening new possibilities for teaching deaf students. Paired with a sensor-fitted suit, the device converts spoken words into gestures

@JoinEdgeCity If Transformative, amaizing,great & community was an experience

Edge City Patagonia, through Jeffrey Sun’s lens ☀️ A month of building together at the frontier of tech, art, and culture.

@fidesio_G It was an honor having you in our Nairobi space

I visited @innov_max lab where he is building assistive robots for the hearing impared. Follow the link below for the full story

Last week we met with @innov_max for a quick tour of his robotic lab. Episode dropping tomorrow

Maxwell Opondo is the Founder and CEO of Zerobionic, building accessible robotics to expand STEM education for deaf and mobility-impaired learners. Check out Maxwell’s full reflections here: edgecity.live/blog/wrong-pro…

@TelamonArdavani @JoinEdgeCity Thank you for making this possible for us 🚀

@JoinEdgeCity @innov_max Such awesome work and so talented!

“If this tool works, my child will go to school every day again.” Edge City Fellow Maxwell (@innov_max) wrote down his reflections on building assistive tech in Patagonia and how talking to the local community reshaped his work in unexpected ways. Read his story (link below)👇

@charlie______t @JoinEdgeCity @timourxyz Thank you really humbled

@JoinEdgeCity @timourxyz @innov_max this was one of my favorite presentations, amazing work @innov_max !

EdgeCasts 15 | supported by @LiskHQ, partnership with @jamitHQ Maxwell @innov_max is a robotics engineer and CEO of Zerobionics. Hear what he has to say about his time at @JoinEdgeCity Patagonia. Big thanks to @thenameiskamso for handing the post production.

Maxwell Opondo (@innov_max) is the founder & CEO of @Zero_bionic, creating accessible robotics for people with hearing & motor challenges. At Edge City Patagonia, he’s building a live transcription module for Spanish Sign Language.

Dear @innov_max hopefully the dvc research will sign the check... congratulations!
