By Elad Inbar, RobotLAB founder & CEO — a practical guide to adopting robotics that actually delivers ROI.
About the book →The NAO Standard Pack is RobotLAB's turnkey bundle built around NAO, the 58 cm autonomous humanoid robot from Aldebaran (SoftBank Robotics). NAO walks, talks, sees, hears, and responds to touch, with 25 degrees of freedom, two HD cameras, four directional microphones, loudspeakers, sonar rangefinders, tactile and force sensors, and an inertial unit. It runs the Linux-based NAOqi operating system and can be programmed with the drag-and-drop Choregraphe environment or in Python, C++, Java, C#, and MATLAB, making it equally approachable for first-time students and advanced researchers.
Unlike buying a bare robot, the Standard Pack is a complete program in a box. RobotLAB pairs the NAO unit with charger and battery, a transport case, a pre-configured laptop and router, unlimited Choregraphe software licenses with the full SDK, a STEMLAB software license, and a one-year Engage! K12 site license that includes lesson plans, activities, and a 3D simulation tool. It ships with online training, a one-year warranty, and RobotLAB technical support.
As a reseller and integrator rather than the manufacturer, RobotLAB sources the NAO platform and wraps it in white-glove deployment, training, and ongoing service. The pack is available for outright purchase at $19,900 or through RobotLAB's Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) program at , which folds hardware, installation, training, software updates, and support into a single subscription. Note: RobotLAB's current Standard Pack ships a NAO V6 robot; verify the exact NAO generation for your order with a RobotLAB advisor.

Schools use the NAO Standard Pack to teach coding, robotics, and computational thinking through hands-on activities. The included Engage! K12 license supplies lesson plans, activities, and a 3D simulation tool, while Choregraphe's drag-and-drop interface lets beginning students program real robot behaviors before moving up to Python or C++. The bundled laptop, router, and case make it a ready-to-run Innovation Lab resource.
NAO's expressive, humanoid form is widely used to support students with autism and other special learning needs. Its consistent, patient, customizable interactions help build social, communication, and emotional skills, and educators can differentiate lessons for diverse learners. RobotLAB's training and support help special-education teams put the robot to work quickly.
Universities and labs adopt NAO as a standardized platform for AI prototyping, human-robot interaction studies, and interdisciplinary research. The full SDK and APIs across Python, C++, Java, C#, and MATLAB give researchers low-level access to the robot's 25 degrees of freedom, cameras, microphones, and sensors for reproducible experiments.
Choregraphe is the official visual programming software for NAO and Pepper. Build and test behaviors with a drag-and-drop interface, then deploy them to your robot — download the version that matches your model.

RobotLAB's current NAO Standard Pack ships a NAO V6 humanoid, though this listing references the V5-era pack. The robot's core capabilities (25 degrees of freedom, two HD cameras, four microphones, NAOqi OS, Choregraphe programming) are consistent across generations. To confirm the exact generation for your order, call 1-87-RobotLAB.
The pack includes the NAO robot, charger and battery, a pre-configured laptop and router, a transport case, unlimited Choregraphe software licenses with the full SDK, a STEMLAB software license, a one-year Engage! K12 site license (lesson plans, activities, and a 3D simulation tool), online training, a one-year warranty, and RobotLAB support.
Both options are available. You can purchase the NAO Standard Pack for $19,900, or use RobotLAB's Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) program at , which bundles hardware, installation, training, software updates, and ongoing technical support. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to discuss which fits your budget.
NAO runs the NAOqi operating system and can be programmed with the included Choregraphe drag-and-drop environment, ideal for beginners. The full SDK and API support Python, C++, Java, C# (.NET), and MATLAB for more advanced development. Choregraphe licenses and the SDK are included in the pack.
Yes. NAO's expressive humanoid design and consistent, customizable interactions are widely used to support students with autism and other special learning needs, helping develop social and communication skills. RobotLAB provides training and support to help teams get started. Call 1-87-RobotLAB for guidance on special-education deployments.
Yes. RobotLAB provides white-glove deployment and initial training with the pack, including online training sessions, a one-year warranty, and ongoing technical support. As the integrator, RobotLAB supports the robot nationwide. Call 1-87-RobotLAB for details.
NAO provides roughly 60 to 90 minutes of active use per charge, depending on how much movement, interaction, and processing it does. The pack includes a charger and battery. For heavy-use classroom or lab scenarios, ask a RobotLAB advisor about battery management at 1-87-RobotLAB.
