Overview
A tall research humanoid meant to help elderly people at home, started by Aldebaran in 2009 with French public funding; the first prototype was shown to project partners in February 2012. A handful of units went to partner labs. It never became a product, and development faded after SoftBank's acquisition shifted focus to Pepper.
