robot french nao project

The project launched in the early 2005 aims at putting a robot in every house, for an affordable price, a humanoid robot based on mechanical, electronic and voice recognitive features, the French call it Nao.

They way I see it, they are a long way from success, the Japanese have proven themselves with real robots and unlike the French, it is still in paper. The bot should also please homebrew aficionado’s, running on Linux and controllable via its built-in WiFi, with customization possible using the open source URBI programming language.

Currently in final development phase, the first specimens for sale will be presented at the end of 2006 and available in the second half of 2007. Awake monster!
