The Wizard-of-Oz

Quick start

The qi_robot_wizard executable launches a GUI to control Pepper.

qi_robot_wizard --robot pepper

With no more options on the command line, the GUI offers the possibility to control the speech, the head, to print text on the tablet and to set the robot in the availble predefined postures.

Displaying images (Pepper only)

By providing a folder of images organized the following way:

pepper-images/
├── black.png
├── green.png
├── idiap-1600.png
└── mummer-logo.png

and running

qi_robot_wizard --robot pepper --name myapp --tablet resources/images/

additional buttons are added to the GUI to display images on the tablet. The image files are copied on the robot at startup to /home/nao/.local/share/PackageManager/apps/myapp/html.

Speech buttons

By providing an .ini scenario file with sections (in brackets) and pairs of button-name: Text to say like the following one:

[yes]

yes: Yes, indeed!
definitely: Definitely yes!
sure: Yes, for sure!

[no]

afraid: I am afraid not!
impossible: Unfortunately, that won't be possible
no: Absolutely not.

and running

qi_robot_wizard --robot pepper --name myapp --scenario resources/yes-no.ini

additional buttons are added to the GUI to make the robot say the corresponding text.
