Project Avatar - Telepresence Robotics with Nao and Kinect
summary
A telepresence setup combining a Nao robot, Oculus Rift, and Kinect One streams stereo video and depth over Ethernet/Wi‑Fi, maps Kinect skeleton tracking to Nao joint commands, and supports gesture control plus text‑to‑speech. The implementation uses Python for robot control and image processing, with live coding showing the command flow and transformers for video and motion; the demo worked for remote viewing and manipulation but experienced network and streaming glitches.
