Robot Nau Takes His First Steps! Awww

20 Apr 2007

Nao Babysteps

Nearly a year after French robotics company Alderbaran laid out plains for a bipedal robot called Nau, they’ve succeeded in doing something we all take for granted - walking. Not only that, but we get to revel in Nau’s first steps.

The company hopes to further refine Nau’s walking prowess since it looks a bit unbalanced but I’m sure they still feel like proud mommies and daddies nonetheless. The question now is how long will it take before before Nau walks as well as Asimo or Qrio?
