I put together this quick tango dance. For those who know Tango, you should be able to see that the dance steps are fairly accurate, albeit a bit limited due to the robot lack of flexibility and my lack of programming talent.

I’ll be publishing my behaviours (the code running in the Nao) for everybody to download once I figure a nice and elegant way to do it.

In the video above, Nao 1337 dances one of my favourites tangos: Por Una Cabeza by Carlos Gardel.

It was to be expected that since I come from Argentina, my Nao would end up dancing tango and probably drinking mate in the near future.

As announced previously, I joined Aldebaran developers program. As a result, I have been living with Nao for a few weeks now.

I named him Nao 1337 but I am open to suggestions. You can leave a comment below if you think of a better name. You can see a quick presentation of this awesome humanoid robot below.

I’ll be posting further developments, images and pictures as I progress. I am planning on making several applications in order to achieve my ultimate goal of having Nao play chess.

The Bandana

As you can see in the pictures and videos, Nao1337 wears a red bandana. This is manly because he is bad-ass and utterly cool.

I got my Nao!

See the video below for a sneak peek of the robot. This video shows you what you would get if you were to join Aldebaran Developer program.

Stay posted for more Nao action. You can also visit my YouTube channel in order to see my latest Nao videos.
