The iconic ambassador for social robotics and interactive human engagement.
Features LED eyes and speech synthesis for friendly, approachable communication.
The leading platform worldwide for STEM education and research learning.
Equipped with dual cameras and four microphones for spatial environment sensing.
A small, interactive, and programmable humanoid robot widely used in education, research, and healthcare.
Nao is a compact, 58 cm tall humanoid that has become the benchmark for robotics education and clinical research. With 25 degrees of freedom and a wide array of sensors (cameras, microphones, sonar), it is highly programmable and robust. Its small form factor and engaging personality make it ideal for teaching AI, studying autism therapy, and competing in international RoboCup competitions.

Maintained by the new entity NAO Robotics SA with RobotLAB as the primary global partner (6,500+ units deployed in North America).
Educational institutions, universities, clinical research centers for autism therapy, and retail businesses for social interaction.
Successive hardware versions from V1 to V6 have gradually replaced older CPUs with modern ARM-based processors and upgraded to 2x 5MP cameras. These updates enable real-time object recognition and more natural speech interaction that early NAO models could not support.
A friendly form with eyes and gestures for approachable interaction.
Uses vision, audio, and sensors to perceive people.
Speaks, listens, and gestures to engage students.
