Nästa UppLYSning, terminens sista, är den 26 maj:
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.
