AskNAO Tablet, developed by ERM Robotique France, makes the robot even easier to use and program, so that everyone can benefit from NAO’s power for young pupils’ education.
Three main lines of work have been developed:
- Use NAO to introduce students to programming and skills development through the handling of innovative devices.
- Use NAO as an education assistant to transmit knowledge and skills to one or more students with autonomous mini-educational sessions. NAO is, therefore, the support of a differentiated playful and captivating teaching within the class.
- NAO is also an outstanding tool for specialized education, including autism treatment, as evidenced by a growing number of studies. we offer a software suite developed in collaboration with several specialized centers, with a content designed for children with specific needs.
