Descriptions
Today, NAO is the mostly used humanoid robot in research and education worldwide.
Robotics is the fastest growing and most advanced technology used in education and research. The NAO humanoid robot is the ideal platform for teaching Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) concepts at all levels.
By using the NAO platform, instructors and researchers stay current with major technical and commercial breakthroughs in programming and applied research. Using NAO guarantee students the best possible career and college readiness!
It is equipped with many sensors: Tactile Sensors, Ultrasonic sensors, a Gyro, an Accelerometer, Force Sensors, Infrared sensors, 2 HD Cameras, 4 Microphones and high accuracy digital encoders on each joint. The new version 6 of NAO comes with a new processor Intel Atom E3845 (1.91Ghz).
CODING WITH NAO
The advanced software package includes a full SDK and API in Java, C++, C# (.N et), Matlab, and Python. Every robot comes standard with Choregraphe, an award-winning software that makes it easy to program the robot using a drag and drop interface which simplifies the programming for new and advanced users alike.
NEW CURRICULUM INCLUDED
We have a spectrum of new fully developed lesson plans and activities for teachers of all types from grades 4 to 14 compatible with the latest version of NAO. Developed in conjunction with educators in the field, these classes have been tested and optimized to impart critical STEM and Coding lessons.
