….NAO, the humanoid made by Aldebaran Robotics!

I admit, I am quite surprised about the decision to make it a standard platform for the “not-any-longer-four-legged” league, although NAO was my personal favourite, because of it’s applicabiliy to HRI and a wide field of other tasks.
I guess, the decision to change platforms from four-legged AIBOs to humanoids will affect the teams in the standard platform league (which is the new name of the four-legged-league) a lot - judging from the games I’ve seen from the humanoid league, so far - but I am really looking forward to watching the first standard platform league games and seeing how the teams get along with the new robot.
