Rich interactions with humans
Beyond a simple pack of technologies, Jazz is a unique robot for researchers interested in rich human/robot interactions, thanks to its engaging design and articulated head with colored eyes that can express basic emotions.

Fast and easy programming with Urbi
• Jazz runs Linux and integrates the open-source Urbi middleware
• Urbi, is the most innovative robotics middleware available today: parallel and event-based execution, integrated components, client/server approach for flexibility
• C++ UObject distributed component architecture
• Urbi is open-source and has a large community: www.urbiforge.org
• Urbi is compatible with ROS, and is used by hundreds of research labs in the world
• Re-use your code on many other Urbi compatible robots (including Nao, Spykee, Bioloid, Pioneer, Segway RMP)

It also has a full audio/video system for 2 way video conferencing and the necessary user friendly web based interface. You can reprogram it, record interactions, test user reactions and emotions, and the engineering and technical issues will not interfere in your work. With its unique look & feel, Jazz immediately conveys a friendly and positive image, and you can focus on dialogue and interactions. Examples: Jazz is perfect for interactions with children, elderly, people with disabilities or in hospitals.
