Ha, ha! Thanks so much, Theodoros. The pleasure was mine - I learned a lot from our dialogue.

...You are an ideological warrior...so am I..

Thank you. Still exploring, but it seems to be at least a dozen.

Thanks, Gary. It’s a real joy. Of course, it owes a lot to the help Carl Clement and Dave Snowdon gave me. So glad your three-pack continue strong!

Hi - thanks for asking. The animation was compiled using Choregraphe - the Aldebaran framework within which python-programmed projects can be assembled and executed. If you take a look at this recent online RoboHack workshop I led, you'll see in the middle segment of it examples of source coding within that framework that will I hope be of help to you.

@@profsjp thank you for your help! I am doing a NAO robot research right now and the main purpose is to help pedestrians to cross the road (I have a crosswalk + toy traffic light). Right now I am working on traffic light color recognition. And the main problem is that robot cant learn the colors properly because the camera quality is so low. I tried to configure it using Monitor(from Choreographe package), however I could not figure out how to import this settings to Choreographe simulator so robot can take high quality images of traffic light colors and add them to its database. By any chance, do you have any documentation about it? Sorry for the long question. I would really appreciate your help!

Hi - Have you tried using NAOmarks to facilitate recognition and to align with a programmed response?

@@profsjp thank you for the response! No, Ive never used NAOmarks, it is my first time working in robotics field. I will try to find documentation on this. Which resources would you recommend for this research topic? I really appreciate your help! Nobody from my school can help me, because they never worked with NAO

@@profsjp and could you please explain the idea of using NAOmarks here for traffic light color recognition? I had an idea to use them for the crosswalk(to point at the start of the crosswalk and end of it, so robot can reach the final destination), but I am not sure how it can help with traffic light color recognition

Thank you. Yes: he’s of course a Mando and Grogu aficionado :-)

Yes: that’s right. The interaction could be extended using various events and proposals within dialog. Thanks for your kind comment.

Thank you. You’re right 😊

Thank you

Thank you.

Thank you for your generous comment. Yes: an Icybie (known to Roy as Tim). Sadly I missed what seems to have been a golden age of creativity before Aldebaran sold the company to SoftBank. It's brilliant that developers like you are able to be so inspiring! I have now joined the RoboHack community led by Dave Snowdon in London (UK) as well as the NAO enthusiasts group on FB seeking to 'rekindle the flame'. Really great interacting with such a friendly community. My own efforts are very much work-in progress 🙂

Oh I didnt know about those communities I will join up and see you there!

Great! In case it helps, here are a couple of relevant URLs: www.meetup.com/robohack/ robohack.org.uk/

@@profsjp ahh thanks! Yes that helps!

Well sort of ha, after I log in with google it says "finishing signup" then just goes back to login screen, maybe I have to wait for approval?

Your comment is very generous. Thank you. Yes: crucial to balance cash with the more deeply appreciated motivators. My co-author and I are presently working on a new edition of the book, which complements the Routledge Companion edited text recently published in paperback. All underpinned by our ongoing empirical research/journal outputs. It's fun having a NAO 'research assistant' too :-).

@@profsjp Nao sure brings in an audience thats for sure! I will have to check out the new addition. After the Covid shutdown and so many people not wanting to go back to work, it was a clear sign that they did not feel their jobs were fulfilling and worth going in for. I would use Nao all I could in book promotions and seminars. It really is what he is best at!
