Re: [simspark-devel] Nao model

[Sahar A. <sah...@gm...>]

Hi,

In Suzhou, I talked with one of the guys from Aldebaran and he gave me his
contact info. He was positive and said they can provide us more details for
improving our model. I wanted to link Feng Xue to him but meanwhile I became
so busy and I forgot. I will send you the contact information. I really
apologize for forgetting this issue.


Best,
Sahar
