NAOqi OS on a virtual machine

Aldebaran Robotics provides an NAOqi OS virtual machine under the open standard OVF/OVA.

Thus, there is no graphical frontend, just a console.

It mainly targets developers and aims at fitting their needs.

It contains:

Developer tools

  • gcc compiler suite

Supported virtual machine software:

  • VirtualBox

Unsupported virtual machine software:
