One week ago I began a new project with Nao.
But first, if you are not a Nao developer, let me introduce how Nao dev works. The robot is fully programmable both in C++ and Python, using a documented API shipped by Aldebaran (the Nao's manufacturer). Applications done with these 2 languages can be directly embed on the robot, in order to get a real autonomous behavior. The API has a long list of classes with methods and events.
In addition, some other languages are supported: Java and C#. But these languages are "remoted". It means that applications you make with these languages can't be embbed on Nao and must run remotely on an other device (typically a computer). More surprisely, the libraries for Java and C# doesn't support event subscription.
So I decided to write my own library in C# allowing to code with full Nao API, including event subscription. And because the result today is quite good, I decided to release a short video demo:

For Nao registered developers, the project page is available here : Remote C#.
Bonus : the library fits well inside Unity3D project.
