NAO - Removing the head

You will need to remove it of your robot if:

• your robot doesn't turn on,
• you want to change the head,
• or the support asked you to do so (for example : to confirm the head serial number).

To do so, follow the next steps :

Make sure your robot is: turned OFF, unplugged and Wait 60 seconds to be sure all electronic capacitors are depleted.
Find the head lock buttons. Note: run your fingers under the head. You’ll feel square lock buttons on the left and right of the neck.
Firmly grip the head on either side of the robot’s face, and push up on the two lock buttons, making sure they are fully pressed in.
Now lift off the head. There should be no resistance. Note: if it is difficult, push the lock buttons up more firmly.

• Align the cross-shaped hole of the head with the cross-shaped neck.

• Push down. DO NOT APPLY MUCH PRESSURE.  You should make sure that the head fully clicks in; both buttons should snap back into place. If they don't, you probably have the head in a wrong position.

• Without pressing either lock buttons, gently attempt to lift the head up to ensure a solid connection.

• The head should be secure.

• If not, repeat the process and be more careful with your alignment.
