26/5: Nao

With Aldebaran Robotics

This presentation will serve as an overview of the humanoid robot Nao, a 58 cm tall friendly robot developed and manufactured by Aldebaran Robotics SA, a young European company based in Paris, France. The live demonstration will consist of showing the robot interact autonomously and showing the capacities of high level programming through the Choregraphe software.

Nao can be programmed and controlled using Linux, Windows or Mac OS. The hardware has been built from the ground up with the latest technologies providing great fluidity in its movements and offering a wide range of sensors. Depending on the user's expertise, Nao can be controlled via Choregraphe®, a user friendly behavior editor, by programming C++ modules, or by interacting with a rich API from scripting languages.

Aldebaran Robotics was founded in 2005 in Paris to develop and market humanoid home robot companions. Since May 2008, Aldebaran is shipping its first generation robot. Today Aldebaran employs 70 people including over 45 first class engineers and PhDs involved in R&D and production.
