LET'S DO IT

Start Choregraphe.

Click the Connect to button and connect Choregraphe to your robot. Your robot appears in the Robot view.

Click the Add a new topic button, then type a name without spaces, for example: HelloWorld. Click the Add button, then the OK button.

Right click the grey area and choose, in the contextual menu, Create a new Box > Dialog....

Click the Add a new topic button, then type a name without spaces, for example: HelloWorld. Click the Add button, then the OK button.

Create links as below.

In the Project content, double click the HelloWorld_enu.top file. The Script editor appears.

Type those rules: u:(Hello) Hello, young Padawan u:(Good morning) Let's start a wonderful day

Click the  Play button.

How it works

• The Set Language box defines the language the robot will use to speak and also to listen to you.
• The Dialog box uses the Topic file, with .top extension, stored in the current Project.
• The Topic file contains Rules associating Human inputs to Robot outputs.

Let’s explain those 2 lines you wrote:

u:(Hello) Hello, young Padawan 
u:(Good morning) Let's start a wonderful day

This line is a Rule:

• u: is the key word for user rule,
• (hello) and (Good morning) are Human inputs, i.e. what you can say to the robot,
• Hello, young Padawan and Let’s start a wonderful day are Robot outputs, i.e. what the robot will answer.

WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED

     To make the robot listen and answer an appropriate answer, you can create a set of rules associating Human inputs to Robot outputs.
