Do’s and Don’ts with the NAO robot
In the course, you will work closely with a NAO robot. Even though they might look cute and robust, it is important to notice that those robots are very expensive (about 7,000 EUR each!) and very sensitive. Hence, there are certain rules you need to follow when working with the robot.
Before working with a NAO robot, watch the videos provided by the Softbank on how and work with a NAO robot. The videos are provided via the following link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLU2x4uo25hLGANcGjETaPk19c4tqs0X9F

When NAO robot is idle it is either in rest mode or off.
Grab the NAO robot under armpits when moving them.
Never pull the fingers of the NAO robot, as those can break easily!
Do not try to force the NAO robot to change position if it’s locked.
