NEW: NAO USER GROUPS AT LHRIC
It takes a consortium to raise a NAO! If you find yourselves stumped by this small and complex humanoid, you are not alone. Join LHRIC "Robot Whisperers" and others from around the region who have spent the past year learning the ins and outs of this fascinating creature. We will share stories, insights, best practices, and deep cut tricks. No matter where you are in your relationship with NAO, you are most welcome!
IMPORTANT: Participants are welcomed to bring their own NAO, provided that the robot has been successfully initialized and the Basic Channel installed.
