Nao That's News: French Robot Firm Funded
First it was Nabaztag, now from France comes Nao. Move over Spyke which also interestingly has a French connection.
Alderbaran Robotics, a company developing small-sized humanoid robots, has raised €5M from CDC and iSource, two local venture capital firms, reports Neteco.
Its first product is Nao, a shapely WiFi robot, that the founders hope will impress at the next Robocup shootout. It is based on a Linux platform and scripted with Urbi, the programming language from another French startup we wrote about a while ago. Labs will get the first units off the production line, but the company plans to sell to the public by end of the year.
