Linux-powered robots from France? Oui! (LinuxDevices)
LinuxDevices
looks at the Aldebaran "Nao" robot.
"Aldebaran says its "Nao" household robot will compete with robotic research prototypes in terms of functionality. The walking, talking, WiFi-enabled bot will stand 21.6 inches tall, and will feature 23 "degrees of freedom" of motion -- three more than the 14-inch tall "Choromet" android announced earlier this week by four Japanese companies. Nao's extra degrees of freedom appear to come in the form of gripping hands."

Linux-powered robots from France? Oui! (LinuxDevices) Posted Jul 21, 2006 15:45 UTC (Fri) by pbardet (guest, #22762) [Link] They just need to add a 24th degree of freedom to be able to. Do I need to specify which one ? Ask Zidane. ;-)
