Nao NextGen, a step forward for humanoid robots!

Almost 2 years ago Aldebaran Robotics released Nao, humanoid robot that was able to do amazing stuff like connect to the internet, play soccer and poker with you!

Only 2 years later the french society announced the new Nao, similar aspect with a ton of new features. It looks like a toy but it can compete for complexity with the most advanced robots on the market like Asimo.

The machine is provided with 2 cameras, tactile sensors, 4 microphones, face and voice recognition's software and a lot of other cool stuff. It is on the market only for researchers with an avarage price of 15,000 $ but the french society already said that they will improve it and place it on large scale market.

It will not be long till we'll walk with robots on  the streets instead of pets, future is happening!
