We created a video that shows you all the steps in a more detailed way! The video shows an example of a dance app " get lucky". The process is the same for all the apps for all the categories: dances, stories, general, education and special education. Unless stated otherwise the apps are compatible with NAO V6 and V5. You just need to make sure that tthe Choregraphe you are using is compatible with NAOqi.
