Our Naos now walk!

We are proud to share with the world that we have achieved a new milestone in walking. Our very own motion engine was able to propel the robot forward for 20 or so centimeters without falling down. Joho and I are very excited about what lies ahead. We have all sorts of neat ideas about the future and where we would like to go.

I found a bunch of pictures from US Open ‘08 and RoboCup ‘08 that have not been uploaded. Here’s the best one I’ve seen so far. More to come.

First Nao V3 in our lab

Over break we got one of our robots upgraded in Paris to the new V3 model which is more robust and sports a second camera. I’ve posted a short video of it’s status message here.
Next week I’m going to Paris for a RoboCup workshop at Aldebaran to get the remaining three of our robots upgraded as well.
