[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [General] Using ROS on Nao

[Mikael Arguedas]

Hi @mjog,

Thanks for your question.
However ROS Discourse is for news and general interest discussions. ROS Answers
http://answers.ros.org/ provides a forum which can be filtered by tags to
make sure the relevant people can find and/or answer the question, and not
overload everyone with hundreds of posts. So we recommend users to ask their questions there following our support guidelines:
http://wiki.ros.org/Support.
For NAO (or Pepper/Romeo) related question you may also find answers to your questions on the dedicated mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/ros-sig-aldebaran/

To not leave you empty handed :wink: :
- ROS Nao packages should work on v4 and v5
- Nao has a very limited processing power so running the ROS machinery on top of the Naoqi one gets challenging. But is you don't do expensive processing you should be able to run some nodes directly on the robot. Some people give additional computing power to Nao to avoid the remote processing (see the [nao backpack](https://github.com/uchile-robotics/nao-backpack) project for example)
- There are no pre-compiled binaries AFAIK, but you can use the OpenNao VM to compile your packages for the target architecture

Hope this helps,
