NaoLab

Distributed middleware architecture for interacting with NAO

Functional Description: This software provides a set of librairies and tools to simply the control of NAO robot from a remote machine. The main challenge is to make easy prototuping applications for NAO ising C++ and Matlab programming environments. Thus NaoLab provides a prototyping-friendly interface to retrieve sensor date (video and sound streams, odometric data...) and to control the robot actuators (head, arms, legs...) from a remote machine.This interface is available on Naoqi SDK, developed by Aldebarab company, Naoqi SDK is needed as it provides the tools to acess the embedded NAO services (low-level motor command, sensor data access...)
