Abstract: The work presented here proposes two different ROS packages to enrich the teleoperation of the robot NAO: speech-based teleoperation (in Basque) and gesture-based teleoperation together with arm control. These packages have been used and evaluated in a human mimicking experiment. The tools offered can serve as a base for many applications.
