Meet Nao The Robot!

I’ve always been a big fan of robot i think its amazing what we can built in forms of humans like.. ive once heard that we can actauly have the world running from 46% of robot and we work less & harder.. well till then  Meet Nao , the little mchine with a big future. He’s disigned to teach us, take care of us- and then probably, replace us..

sees Nao sees by means of two CMOS 640 x 480 cameras, which can capture up to 30 images per second.
The first is on the forehead, aimed at Nao’s horizon, while the second camera is placed at mouth level to scan the immediate environment. The software lets you recover photos that Nao sees and video streams.
Yet what use are eyes, unless you can also perceive and interpret your surroundings? That’s why Nao contains a set of algorithms to detect and recognize faces and shapes, so he can recognize the person talking to him, find a ball, and ultimately much more complex objects. These algorithms have been specially developed, with constant care taken to use up minimum processor resources.

Furthermore, Nao’s SDK lets you develop your own modules interfaced with OpenCV (the Open Source Computer Vision library initially developed by Intel). As you have the option to execute modules on Nao or transfer them to another PC connected to NAO, you can easily use the OpenCV display functions to develop and test your own algorithms with image feedback.
