Je cherchais depuis un petit moment un NAS sympa, qui réponde à mes besoins : silencieux, pas moche, facilement manageable au niveau volumes, opensource friendly et extensible au niveau des fonctionnalités. Mon choix s’est porté sur le Drobo, de chez Data Robotics et son DroboShare. Petit partage de mon expérience.

C'est moi Nao, le petit robot - 20minutes.fr

Après Aibo, le cabot, Nao, le robot. Cet androïde français de 60 cm de haut a été choisi pour succéder au chien électronique de Sony comme modèle de joueur de la Robocup. En 2008, en Chine, des équipes de petits Nao activeront leurs engrenages au cours de matchs de foot. Pour la plus grande joie de leur papa, Bruno Maisonnier, polytechnicien et fondateur d’Aldebaran Robotics, qui a conçu sa première machine à l’âge de 16 ans: «Un robot en bois! Mais qui savait repérer et fuir la lumière.» Les années et les prototypes passent, mais une conviction demeure : « A l’instar de l’informatique personnelle, la robotique va se propager dans le grand public.»
Reconnaissance vocale
Autres temps, autres perfectionnements : Nao naît en décembre 2006. Bourré de capteurs sensitifs, il reconnaît la voix, les visages, simule des émotions, papote, se trémousse, lit des e-mails. Surtout, il est programmable. «On peut lui donner une humeur cabocharde, calme... ou en faire un robot plein d’humour qui saura télécharger des blagues et les raconter au milieu d’une soirée!» Son arrivée dans les magasins est prévue pour 2008.
