French Aldebaran Nao Robot can Walk

Apr 20 2007, 1:30pm CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr

French humanoid robot company Aldebaran sent us word that their NAO robot is now able to walk.

We reported about the French Humanoid robot project last Summer. Back then only a schematic of Nao was available. In the meantime Aldebaran made quite some progress and Nao already appeared on national television.

Now the company published a video on their site that shows Nao (AL-05) walking. The Nao robot is based on a Linux platform and scripted with Urbi, an easy-to-learn programming language, with the option of a graphic interface for beginners or code commands for experts.

Aldebaran plans to bring Nao to the market in the 2nd half of 2007.
