KentuckyFC writes "Earlier this year, Paris-based Aldebaran-Robotics picked up $8 million in venture capital funding to help commercialise its NAO humanoid robot. The target market for this device is research labs working on the next generaiton of robotic hardware and software. Today, the company has posted a detailed spec of NAO on the arXiv saying that it expects to cost about $15,000 each. That's cheap compared to many other humanods. Fuitsu's HOAP humanoids cost $50,000 each and various estimates price Honda's Asimo at $1 million per bot, although they are not for sale. Aldebaran-Robotics says that NAO's cost should come down to about $6000 as production ramps up."
