NAO Robotic System
| Brief Description: | The NAO robotic system is a 25dof robot developed by Softbanks Robotics. It has two cameras. One in the forehead and one in the mouth. So the NAO is not able to use stereo vision but it can focus with one camera on objects far away and with the other one on objects next to him. Additionally it has a microphone, two speakers, a lot of touch buttons on the head and on the hands. For computation it has a 1.6 GHz Atom Processor with 1Gb RAM. The software is writen in C++ and runs on a linux operating system on the NAO. |
This robot is used to investigate and apply control concepts for humanoid robots. Topics for investigation are
- LPV-Control
- Robust Control
- System identification
- Imitation and Reinforcement Learning Algorithms.
