NAO stands at 58cm and weighs 5kg and is the most widely used humanoid robot for academic purposes worldwide. Aldebarans vision is to enhance everyday lives. NAO has many key benefits including: fully and easily programmable, compatible, autonomous, interactive, robust, and multi-disciplinary. NAO can move using 25 degrees of freedom and its coreless motors. It can interact with its two speakers, LEDs, tactile sensors, prehensile hands, infrared sensors and WIFI. It can sense using its HD cameras, microphones and 8 force sensing resistors. NAO can think using its software suite and large memory. We are always on the lookout for new products and better deals for our customers. We develop our knowledge through being involved in what makes you tick! More @ www.active-robots.com
