+```
+
+## Step 5: Test NAO Connection
+
+Start the NAO6 ROS2 integration:
+
+```bash
+cd ~/nao_ws
+source install/setup.bash
+
+# Launch with your NAO's IP address
+ros2 launch nao_launch nao6_hristudio.launch.py nao_ip:=YOUR_NAO_IP
+```
+
+Replace `YOUR_NAO_IP` with your NAO's actual IP address (e.g., `192.168.1.100`).
+
+## Step 6: Verify ROS2 Topics
+
+In a new terminal, verify that NAO topics are publishing:
+
+```bash
+source /opt/ros/humble/setup.bash
+
+# List all topics
+ros2 topic list
+
+# You should see these NAO6 topics:
+# /cmd_vel - Robot velocity commands
+# /odom - Odometry data
+# /joint_states - Joint positions and velocities
+# /joint_angles - NAO-specific joint control
+# /camera/front/image_raw - Front camera
+# /camera/bottom/image_raw - Bottom camera
+# /imu/torso - Inertial measurement unit
+# /bumper - Foot bumper sensors
+# /hand_touch - Hand tactile sensors
+# /head_touch - Head tactile sensors
+# /sonar/left - Left ultrasonic sensor
+# /sonar/right - Right ultrasonic sensor
+# /info - Robot information
+
+# Test specific topics
+ros2 topic echo /joint_states --once
+ros2 topic echo /odom --once
+ros2 topic echo /info --once
+```
+
+## Step 7: Test Robot Control
+
+Test basic robot control:
+
+```bash
+# Make NAO say something
+ros2 topic pub /speech std_msgs/msg/String "data: 'Hello from ROS2!'" --once
+
+# Move head (be careful with joint limits)
+ros2 topic pub /joint_angles naoqi_bridge_msgs/msg/JointAnglesWithSpeed \
+  "joint_names: ['HeadYaw']
+   joint_angles: [0.5]
+   speed: 0.3" --once
+
+# Basic walking command (very small movement)
+ros2 topic pub /cmd_vel geometry_msgs/msg/Twist \
+  "linear: {x: 0.1, y: 0.0, z: 0.0}
+   angular: {x: 0.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0}" --once
+
+# Stop movement
+ros2 topic pub /cmd_vel geometry_msgs/msg/Twist \
+  "linear: {x: 0.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0}
+   angular: {x: 0.0, y: 0.0, z: 0.0}" --once
+```
+
+## Step 8: Configure HRIStudio
+
+1. **Start HRIStudio** with your development setup
+2. **Add NAO6 Plugin Repository**:

+
+4. **Create Experiment**:
+   - Use the experiment designer
+   - Add NAO6 actions from the robot blocks section
+   - Configure parameters for each action
+
+5. **Run Trial**:
+   - Ensure your NAO6 ROS2 system is running
+   - Start a trial in HRIStudio
+   - Control the robot through the wizard interface
+
