navel robotics Navel
The navel from navel robotics is a social robot for care facilities that holds conversations and plays games with residents.
navel robotics GmbH (Munich) offers the navel as a care edition and as a research platform with a Python SDK; both are labelled 'pre-series model' on the page, so specifications may change. The page lists a Linux operating system, an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier, a head camera and body camera, a 3D array of 7 microphones, Intel RealSense D430, two lidars and three sonars, a 288 Wh battery and LAN and WLAN. The page states a height of 72 cm and a weight of 8 kg in the technical data, but 75 cm and 8.5 kg elsewhere; this contradiction has not been resolved here. The number of languages (74 versus 30 for speech synthesis) is also contradictory. Availability in the Netherlands is not confirmed.
