• Télémaque : Wire of Ulysses.

• Nono : It is a robot of company, which follows Télémaque. It is humanoïde, biped and makes approximately 40 cm in height. It is made of three segments in the shape of cans: for the head, for the chest and the last for the belly. These segments are articulated between them. The head carries two white eyes. It is provided with a kind of handle of pump which makes it possible to reload the batteries of the robot manually. The head contains the brain of Nono. This one is able to speak, to test feelings. The head carries also a mouth, and in addition to the fact of being used to him to speak, it is used to him to eat “small nails”.
