Two identical video cameras are located in the forehead. They provide a 640x480 resolution at 30 frames per second. They can be used to identify objects in the visual field such as goals and balls, and bottom camera can ease NAO’s dribbles.

Note

We adopt the roll, pitch and yaw notation for angle representation. So, to construct an homogenous transform with rotation (Wx,Wy,Wz) use T=rotZ(Wz)*rotY(Wy)*rotX(Wx).
