NAO is a small humanoid robot by SoftBank Robotics. It can move naturally, interact with people in 20 languages and recognise its surroundings using sensors and cameras. With its human-like movements and communicative design, it promotes playful learning and strengthens social and cognitive skills.

NAO can be programmed to perform customised tasks. It supports various programming languages and visual development environments such as Scratch or Python. Its sensors enable complex interactions, from facial recognition to autonomous navigation. Thanks to its flexible software, NAO can be integrated into numerous applications and offers a wide range of possible uses.

With its approachable appearance and customisable skillset, NAO is an interesting platform in the field of robotic care and medical interaction, which is why it is represented in several of our projects. In the Mobirobot project, for example, NAO helps to mobilise children as part of physiotherapy.
