Overview

What is the NAO Zora Robot — Healthcare Solution?

The NAO Standard Pack pairs Aldebaran's (SoftBank Robotics') NAO V6 humanoid robot with the Zora care application, the configuration RobotLAB positions for healthcare, assisted-living, and rehabilitation settings. NAO is a 58 cm (about 23-inch), 5.6 kg bipedal humanoid with 25 degrees of freedom, two HD cameras, four microphones, touch and sonar sensors, and on-board speech in 20+ languages. The Zora layer adds a library of ready-to-run care behaviors, so staff with no programming background can run a session from a tablet within a couple hours of training.

In a care setting, NAO with Zora leads seated exercise and dance classes, runs cognitive games, reads out the day's news, weather, and menu, and provides one-on-one companionship and prompting. Because it is operated from a tablet rather than coded, the same robot can move between a memory-care activity room, a physical-therapy session, and a community lounge across a single day. Independent evaluation studies of the Zora care robot have been published from multi-year deployments in nursing homes.

As America's largest commercial robotics integrator, RobotLAB sells, leases, and supports NAO nationwide under purchase, lease, and Robot-as-a-Service terms. RobotLAB handles the bundle, onboarding, staff training, and ongoing support so a facility receives a working activity program rather than a bare robot. The same NAO V6 hardware also underpins RobotLAB's education packs; this listing is the variant aimed at care and senior-living teams. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to confirm the current Zora software configuration and licensing for your facility.

How it works

NAO Zora Robot — Healthcare Solution in detail

Senior living & assisted living activities

NAO leads group exercise, dance, and music sessions and runs trivia and memory games that keep residents engaged and moving. Activity staff trigger each routine from a tablet, so one robot can fill a full daily calendar across multiple common rooms without any coding.

Memory care & dementia engagement

The robot's predictable voice, gestures, and one-on-one games are used in dementia and cognitive-impairment programs to prompt interaction and structure. Multi-year evaluation studies of the Zora care robot in nursing homes have documented how staff deploy it for these residents.

Rehabilitation & physical therapy

NAO demonstrates and paces stretching and mobility exercises, giving patients a consistent model to follow and freeing the therapist to coach and observe. The robot has been studied in rehabilitation programs, including work with children who have severe physical disabilities.

Healthcare reception & wayfinding

In clinic and hospital lobbies NAO greets visitors, answers routine questions, and helps pass wait time with light interaction, supporting front-desk staff during busy periods.

Questions & answers

About the NAO Zora Robot — Healthcare Solution.

  1. Is this the NAO robot or a different robot called Zora?

    It is the same physical robot. 'Zora' refers to the care-focused software application that runs on Aldebaran's NAO humanoid; the hardware is the NAO V6. RobotLAB lists this configuration for healthcare and senior-living teams. Call 1-87-RobotLAB if you want help confirming the exact software bundle.

  2. Do my staff need to know how to program it?

    No. The Zora care app is run from a tablet with a library of ready-to-go activities, and most users are competent after a couple hours of training. Developers who want to build custom behaviors can still use Choregraphe, Python, or C++. RobotLAB includes onboarding and training.

  3. What activities can it actually run in a care setting?

    Common uses include leading seated exercise and dance classes, running cognitive and trivia games, reading the day's news, weather, and menu, and one-on-one engagement. It recognizes speech, faces, and objects to support interaction. Ask 1-87-RobotLAB about activity libraries for your program.

  4. How long does the battery last during a session?

    NAO V6 runs roughly 60 minutes in active use and up to about 90 minutes in lighter standard use on a charge, then recharges via its included charger. For all-day programs, facilities typically schedule sessions around charge breaks. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to plan a session calendar.

  5. Can we lease it or pay monthly instead of buying?

    Yes. RobotLAB offers purchase, lease, and Robot-as-a-Service options. The listed purchase price is $19,900; monthly and RaaS terms spread the cost and bundle support. Call 1-87-RobotLAB for current lease and RaaS pricing for your facility.

  6. Is there research behind using NAO/Zora in elderly care?

    Yes. Peer-reviewed evaluation studies have looked at the Zora care robot across multi-year deployments in nursing homes, and NAO has been studied in rehabilitation programs. Outcomes vary by program and population. RobotLAB can share use-case references; call 1-87-RobotLAB.

  7. What support and warranty come with it?

    RobotLAB provides setup, training, and ongoing support, and the robot ships with a manufacturer warranty. Specific warranty length and software-license terms depend on the configuration, so contact 1-87-RobotLAB to confirm what is included with your order.
