\section{Rejected Software Alternatives}
Here we will briefly discuss what alternative options were available for the
choice of the base framework, and why we decided not to use those. One
choice of the base framework and why we decided not to use those. One
available option was the official \textit{NAOqi C++ SDK}. Being based on the
C++ language, this SDK can naturally be expected to have better performance and
be more resource-efficient, than the Python-based version. We still chose the
C++ language, this SDK can naturally be expected to have better performance and to be more resource-efficient, than the Python-based version. We still chose the
Python SDK, because C++ is not particularly suitable for fast prototyping,
because of the complexity of the language. It is also worth noting, that we
never really hit the performance constraints, that couldn't have been overcome
by refactoring our code, but in the future it might be reasonable to migrate
some of the portions of it to C++.

Finally, as was already mentioned in the introduction, \textit{B-Human

algorithms and good documentation. However, B-Human has been in development
over many years and is therefore a very complex system. The amount time needed
