ERM Robotique provides several ready-to-use games with the My Friend NAO solution. With this pre-installed content, the user has a turnkey solution, and can start working with the robot right away.
The applications focus on 4 areas : educational games, physical activities for which child must imitate or guide NAO, stories that develop children’s listening skills, and awards.

Educational games

NAO games usually take place as follows : the robot presents a situation, then it asks a question and pronounces a award sentence if successful. Answers can be given either orally, by showing an object or a map, or using the tablet. For special needs, the teacher can control the rollout of the game manually.
