Nao (robot)
Nao is a humanoid robot from the French robot manufacturer Aldebaran Robotics . The Nao was presented for the first time in 2006 and has been the official successor to the Sony Aibo as the standard platform of the RoboCup since August 2007 . For the first time the NAO V1 was used in competition at the Robocup 2008, the use of the Naos was confirmed in 2010 for the period up to 2013. In May 2011 it was announced that parts of the software would be released under an open source license by the end of the year. Intel supported the further development with an investment in June 2011. In December 2011 the Nao Next Gen was presented, which became the basis of the Aldebaran product range.
There are different versions of the robot with different degrees of freedom and different built-in sensors. The Robocup robot is 57.3 cm tall and weighs 5.2 kg. A 1.6 GHz Intel ATOM Z530 processor (a secondary CPU is in the torso) and two HD cameras with 30 frames / second are integrated in the head. According to the manufacturer, the battery life should be around 90 minutes.
The Nao was in development for several years, but it was possible to purchase individual copies from the manufacturer upon request. The price was initially around 10,000 euros. The price of the Nao is now around 5,000 euros. In October 2012 the URBI control system and the Urbiscript programming language were released under the BSD license. This execution platform came into the possession of Aldebaran through a takeover by Gostai in July 2012, URBI itself also runs on products from other manufacturers (such as Lego Mindstorms NXT ).
