Research track
Patricia on Aldebaran NAO
An available social-robotics platform for selected interaction and behaviour experiments.
Role in Patricia
Use a well-known social robot where it adds evidence.
NAO can support focused experiments in gesture, posture, turn-taking and social interaction. It is not the main commercial embodiment and does not need to share equal prominence with XLeRobot or Bumi.
The project remains visible because the platform may answer particular human–robot interaction questions efficiently.
What this project tests
Questions before claims.
- Voice, turn-taking and attention cues
- Gesture and posture perception
- Small social interaction studies
- Portability to a different robot API
- Comparison with larger mobile embodiments
Next work
What moves it forward.
- Select only experiments that answer a current question
- Connect a limited Patricia interaction
- Document what transfers and what does not
- Avoid diverting resources from the main roadmap
- Publish a short result if the track becomes active
