Overview
NAO is a small biped humanoid from Aldebaran, a French company. RobotLAB, an authorised reseller, lists the current generation as NAO V6. At 0.574 m and 5.48 kg it is the shortest and lightest of the tracked humanoids, against medians of 1.7 m and 61 kg.
It is shipping. Maxtronics Robotics SAS, which now makes and supports the robot, says more than 20,000 units have been produced, sold and delivered, and sells NAO6 and NAO7 on a quote basis. RobotLAB reports a US list price starting at USD 16,990, with tax and shipping not stated.
The robot has 25 degrees of freedom and 1 per hand. Runtime is 60 min in active use and 90 min in normal use, and RobotLAB reports a 62.5 Wh Li-ion battery. Software runs on NAOqi OS and its SDK, and the datasheet lists the IEC 62368-1:2014 safety standard. The maker has not published a walking speed, a payload figure, processor details or a charge time.
