mikejuk writes "According to an announcement at a robotics conference this week Aldebaran Roboitics is planning to make a significant proportion of its code open source.
The NAOqi embedded software is cross-platform and forms a distributed robotics framework. The Nao robot has come from a small start to become once of the standard tools of educational and research robotics and it is also a lot of fun. At the moment a Nao is still a little too expensive to be used as a recreational platform but who knows. Currently it is claimed that there are over 1500 Nao robots being used in education and research.
I wonder what Nao thinks about being open source?
So far no comment but it is worth watching his Star Wars performance and just imagine what he might have to say about it..."
