Overview
What is the NAO AI Edition Robot?
The NAO AI Edition is the AI-enabled version of Aldebaran's NAO V6 humanoid, a 58 cm (about 23 inch) tabletop robot with 25 degrees of freedom, dual HD cameras, four microphones, and a full suite of tactile, sonar, and inertial sensors. What separates this edition from the standard NAO is the software bundle: it ships with pre-packaged AI skills, a Conversational Mode that uses natural-language speech recognition (rather than fixed keywords), facial recognition for personalized greetings, a Presenter Mode for guided content delivery, and integration with chatbots and large-language-model back-ends. RobotLAB configures the AI Edition for English plus a second downloadable language out of the box, with 19 languages available.
RobotLAB sells the NAO AI Edition as an authorized integrator, not as the manufacturer. The $19,990 package includes one NAO V6 AI Edition robot, charger and battery, an unlimited Choregraphe programming license, three years of access to the AI Skills, a 3D simulator software license, full SDK and API, two language downloads, a one-year warranty, and RobotLAB Support Level 1. For organizations that prefer to avoid a capital purchase, the same robot is available through RobotLAB's Robot-as-a-Service program starting at $356/month, which folds hardware, software, and support into a single recurring fee.
Because NAO is fully programmable in Python (and via the Choregraphe visual editor), the AI Edition works both as a teaching platform — robotics, coding, STEM, and computer science curricula — and as a deployed interactive agent in real-world settings such as senior care, pediatric therapy, and public-facing reception. RobotLAB handles procurement, setup, training, and ongoing support, so buyers get a turnkey path from purchase to a working robot rather than a bare hardware shipment.

How it works
NAO AI Edition Robot in detail
K-12 and special education
NAO's expressive movement and consistent, patient delivery make it a strong fit for classrooms and special-education programs. Students learn to program it with Choregraphe's visual blocks or Python, and the robot's predictable, repeatable interactions are widely used to support social-skills and engagement work with students on the autism spectrum. RobotLAB pairs the hardware with STEM and computer-science curriculum materials.
Higher education and research
With an open SDK, Python and C++ support, full API access, and a physics-based 3D simulator, the NAO AI Edition is a standard platform for university robotics, human-robot interaction, and AI research. Labs use the conversational and facial-recognition skills as a baseline to build on, and the simulator lets teams develop and test behaviors before running them on the physical robot.
Healthcare and assisted living
In senior living, pediatric therapy, and clinical settings, the AI Edition runs guided exercises, cognitive-engagement activities, and conversational interactions. Facial recognition lets it greet residents or patients by name, and Conversational Mode supports natural back-and-forth rather than scripted prompts — useful for companionship, reminders, and structured therapeutic routines.
Reception, presentations, and brand engagement
Presenter Mode and the analytics tools make NAO a draw at reception desks, lobbies, banks, and events. It can greet visitors, walk through scripted content with synchronized motion, answer natural-language questions via chatbot integration, and log interaction data — most popular content, frequent questions, time of interaction, and demographics — through the RobotLAB Analytics tool.

Questions & answers
About the NAO AI Edition Robot.
-
What makes the NAO AI Edition different from the standard NAO V6?
The hardware is the same 58 cm NAO V6 humanoid. The AI Edition adds a software bundle: pre-packaged AI skills, Conversational Mode with natural-language speech recognition, facial recognition for personalized interaction, Presenter Mode, chatbot/LLM integration, and three years of AI Skills access. RobotLAB lists the AI Edition at $19,990 versus $16,990 for the standard NAO V6. To talk through which fits your use case, call 1-87-RobotLAB.
-
Can the NAO AI Edition hold a real conversation?
Its Conversational Mode uses speech recognition to interpret intent behind natural language, so users aren't limited to fixed keywords or phrases, and it integrates with chatbots and large-language-model back-ends. It is a 58 cm tabletop humanoid built for interactive engagement, not a heavy-duty service robot. For a scoped demo of the conversational features, call 1-87-RobotLAB.
-
What's included in the $19,990 price?
One NAO V6 AI Edition robot, charger and battery, an unlimited Choregraphe license, three years of AI Skills access, a 3D simulator license, full SDK and API, two language downloads, a one-year warranty, and RobotLAB Support Level 1. Pricing does not include applicable tariffs or shipping. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to confirm current lead times, as NAO has at times been on backorder.
-
Do I have to buy it outright, or can I lease?
RobotLAB offers the NAO AI Edition through its Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) program starting at $356/month, which bundles hardware, software, and support into one recurring fee — an alternative to the $19,990 capital purchase. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to compare purchase versus RaaS for your budget.
-
What programming languages and tools does it support?
NAO is programmable in Python and C++, and through Aldebaran's Choregraphe visual editor for block-style programming. The AI Edition includes full SDK and API access plus a physics-based 3D simulator for developing and testing behaviors before running them on the robot. For curriculum and onboarding support, call 1-87-RobotLAB.
-
Is the NAO AI Edition suitable for students with special needs?
Yes. NAO's expressive, consistent, and patient interactions are widely used in special-education and autism-support programs, and the robot is fully programmable so educators can tailor activities. RobotLAB provides STEM and computer-science curriculum materials and setup support. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to discuss a special-education deployment.
-
Does RobotLAB provide setup, training, and support?
Yes. RobotLAB is an authorized integrator and handles procurement, setup, training, and ongoing support. The AI Edition package includes a one-year warranty and RobotLAB Support Level 1. For higher support tiers or fleet deployments, call 1-87-RobotLAB.
