Aldebaran Robotics To Open Source Nao Robot Control Software

The NAOqi embedded software is cross-platform and forms a distributed robotics framework. The Nao robot has come from a small start to become one of the standard tools of educational and research robotics and it is also a lot of fun.

Currently it is claimed that there are over 1500 Nao robots being used in education and research."
