Widely used in education and research.

Yes. NAO is independently verified in real-world operation on the DEPLOY registry, confirmed at named deployment sites with primary sources: not a concept, render, or demo-only.

NAO's recorded specifications on the DEPLOY registry: Degrees of freedom: 25; Height: 58. See the Specs section for the full sourced set.

NAO is made by NAO Robot, based in Paris, France, founded in 2005.

1 verified deployment of NAO is on the DEPLOY registry, including at Paris.

NAO is in commercial deployment and is sold to operators; contact the manufacturer to buy, and see the pricing section for any recorded price.

On the DEPLOY registry, comparable humanoid robots to NAO include Walker S2, Digit, Unitree G1, Atlas.

NAO and Walker S2 (UBTech Robotics · 18 deployments) are both humanoid robots on the DEPLOY registry. NAO has 1 verified deployment on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.

On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, safety, adoption, media, and IP signals, NAO ranks in roughly the top 23% of humanoid models tracked by the registry.

NAO is at the production stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Production stage means high-volume manufacture and commercial-scale deployments are sustained.

NAO has no incidents on record in the DEPLOY registry. This does not constitute a safety guarantee; it reflects the incidents DEPLOY has tracked and verified to date.
