Abstract
The humanoid robot NAO can be used as an excellent social stimulus tool for recognizing objects, people faces, imitations, and other forms of non-verbal communication. In this context, the LIBRAS (Brazilian Sign Language)is used here in a work experiment using the NAO robot for recognition. The main objective of this article is to contribute to the study of the NAO Vision System with the resources provided by the robot in the context of inclusion of impaired people, in special autistic children, as a proposal for human-machine interaction. This first work deals with the recognition of the alphabet in LIBRAS. The recognition of letters was developed in the Choreographe software, a powerful tool with several interaction applications by using animations, such as movements, robot speech and object and face recognition. As partial results, the robot NAO recognized some static letters on cards with a white background and was tested with hand-made letters.As results were used 2 methods in the Choreographe with total recognition of the alphabet.
