Introducing NAO robot, the most widely used humanoid robot for academic purposes worldwide. NAO robot (pronounced 'Now') is a ground-breaking teaching aid for use in robotics, systems and control, computer science, social sciences and beyond. Humanoid robots have always fascinated people, especially students. NAO allows them to explore programming, sensors, interaction with people and the environment, and much more.

The NAO robot is capable of moving autonomously, having a conversation with you, identifying objects and interacting with its environment. Anyone can easily compose programs via the graphical interface of the Choregraphe* Software. Students can explore event-based, sequential or parallel programming using the configurable behaviour boxes. You can also create your own behaviours, as well as using Python to write more complex scripts.

NAO can be programmed by either connecting an Ethernet cable between the robot and your computer, or via a Wi-Fi link. The software suite is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux.

For more information, please visit our dedicated NAO minisite.

  • How can NAO robot help in the classroom? - The opportunities are endless!
  • Graphical programming using algorithmic or Boolean programming
  • Program NAO to interact with people and its environment
  • Develop your own behaviours using text-based programming languages
  • Mimic human behaviour
  • Study how humans interact with robots
  • Use NAO to increase interaction for students with SEN
  • NAO is a great recruitment tool – use it at open evenings to interact with potential students and their parents

  • Package includes:
  • 1x NAO Evolution Humanoid Robot with 2-year warranty
