New Autism Therapy GUI!

The latest development of autism therapy GUI that has been developed by our team!

The interface indicates various options available for the user controlling Nao. It contains motion that is human-like for Nao, joint attention to allow Nao to point to certain directions, emotions, and the movement of Nao.

The software is open-sourced! and we welcome anyone who is interested to have the source code, just drop us a mail!

NTU Open House

Team Nanyang is again invited to showcase the Naos to the aspiring mechanical engineers. We have demonstrated a simple programme that allows Bluey (nao robot) to talk with hand gesture borrrowed form the Autism team development and then Bluey will points to a Robocup version Nao robot to perform a simple dance.

We received great feedbacks from the parents and students. We could see the students are very interested and excited about the Nao capabilities. We hope that our simple demonstration could spark their greater interest towards robotics.

We are featured in the NTU Open House video as shown below:

NTU Admission Video

For the third time, our team has been invited to perform and this time is to be guest dance for the NTU admission video.

This video is very creatively done and it showcases around NTU!

NTU Career Fair

We have been specially invited again by the NTU CCO for our superb performance during the launch of HEY! magazine. Our babies Nao did a fantastic and lasting memories for the audience.

This event is headed by YiCheng and made our team proud by performing fantastic dance to the captivating audience which mostly comprise of the top notch recruited company from around the world.

and we are very proud to have this opportunity given to showcase our creativity on the dance move!

The video is below:

Qualified!

Yes! Team Nanyang has been qualified for the upcoming Robocup 2012 Mexico.

Our team is very excited and we are preparing hard for the competition. We hope that we could achieve better results compare to last year competition in Istanbul with better algorithm and system architecture for our Robocup team!

Nao in Hey!

Team Nanyang has been invited to perform a dancing act in the HEY! magazine launch in NTU.

We are proud to be invited for performing in this grand event with Singapore celebrities as the guest and the NTU bosses!

TEDxNTU

Team Nanyang has been invited as an exhibitor in the prestigious talk - TEDxNTU in world renowned convention centre Marina Bay Sands.

We managed to inspire many young talents about the great possibilities of robotics in impacting our daily lifes. We hope that our exposure will lead geater breakthrough in robotics through the young aspiring engineers that we share during the exhibition

Guide of programming for Nao

Team Nanyang has completed documented a guidebook for beginners who doesnt know how to programme Nao.

This guidebook is written by Swee Tim and Xi Ling. The guidebook will show you the necessary software to be installed to the computer. Besides, it shows how to programme in C++ and Python.
The guidebook can be downloaded from this webpage below:

Autism!

Team Nanyang has ventured into a new research field using Nao to develop an interactive humanoid for autism treatment.

This project is headed by the Team Nanyang team leader, Swee Tim and he is working with 2 FYP students. This project is a collaboration between Institute of Mental Health - Child Guidance Clinic(CGC), Singapore and NTU.

We will be working closely with the physcologist in CGC to provide us with the physocoligst point of view of using Nao to interact with the autistic kids. We will make Nao to have emotions and human like motion.

The main hypotesis of this research is their some clinical trials done that suggests that using humanoid could improve the  communication of autistic kids because autistics kids feels that a robot is less threatening compare to a normal human which is more random.

Major Research

Team Nanyang has decided to focus on 4 main research for our upcoming competition in Mexico.

i) Localisation - Hao Chuan
ii) Vision - XiLing
iii) Network and game controller - Sun Hao
iv) Strategy - Xin Hui

These are the respective head for the research.

If you are interested in one of the research area, do contact them!
