The Python connector will always launch 1 entity of type ‘robot'. Upon launch, a dialog will pop-up requesting the devices that should be used. Only after selecting the devices will this agent start executing.
Init Parameters
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| The IP address of the server running the CBSR cloud (or the Docker version).

Actions
In principle, all actions are of the durative type; an agent does not wait until their factual completion (but the corresponding events need to be used instead).
Action | Description |
|---|---|
Animations | These actions currently only work on Nao/Pepper robots. Use the computer-robot JAR to emulate the expected responses to these actions locally if needed. |
| Starts/Stops breathing animations on the robot, based on the truth value of the parameter (1 enables breathing, 0 disables it) A Example: |
| Performs the given animation. See http://doc.aldebaran.com/2-5/naoqi/motion/alanimationplayer-advanced.html for the available animations per robot. A Example: |
| Make the robot go the given posture at the given speed (0-100; default when it's left out is 100% speed). See http://doc.aldebaran.com/2-5/family/pepper_technical/postures_pep.html#pepper-postures and http://doc.aldebaran.com/2-8/family/nao_technical/postures_naov6.html#naov6-postures for the available postures on Peppers and Naos respectively. A Example: |
| A RecordMotion: JSON string format (see below) {'robot': <'nao'/'pepper'>, 'compress_factor_angles': <int>, 'compress_factor_times: <int>
'motion': {'joint1': { 'angles': [...], 'times': [...]}, 'joint2': {...}}}
Output via callback after |
| See play_motion. Instead of a JSON string input of the motion it expects a string with a path to a JSON file containing the motion. |
| Make the robot go into rest mode. This is the inverse of the An |
| Set the colour of the robot's ear LEDs. The Colour can be either a predefined single colour (white, red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, or cyan), a predefined combination (rainbow or greenyellow), or an RGB-colour given in hexadecimal: 0x00RRGGBB. On the Pepper, the ear LEDs can only be various shades of blue. An Example: |
| Set the colour of the robot's eye LEDs. The Colour can be either a predefined single colour (white, red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, or cyan), a predefined combination (rainbow or greenyellow), or an RGB-colour given in hexadecimal: 0x00RRGGBB. An Example: |
| Set the colour of the robot's LEDs on the top of its head. This is only possible on the Nao. The Colour can be either a predefined single colour (white, red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, or cyan), a predefined combination (rainbow or greenyellow), or an RGB-colour given in hexadecimal: 0x00RRGGBB. A Example: |
| Set the 'idle' mode of the robot. This can be either 'true' (look straight ahead but slightly upwards) or 'straight' (look exactly straight ahead). A Example: |
| Sets the given list of LEDs to the given colours in the given duration (in milliseconds, the default of 0 means instantly). A Example: |
| Disable the 'idle' mode of the robot. This means its head will move in the robot's autonomous mode, which is the default behaviour. A |
| Sets the stiffness of one or more of the robot's joints ([Head, RArm, LArm, RLeg, LLeg] on the Nao and [Head, RArm, LArm, Leg, Wheels] on the Pepper). The stiffness can be between 0 and 100 (i.e. 0% to 100%), and the duration of the change is given in milliseconds (1000ms, i.e. 1 second by default if left out). A Example: |
| On the given group of LEDs ([eyes, chest, feet, all]), starts an animation of the given type ([rotate, blink, alternate]) using the given colors at the given speed (in milliseconds). A Example: |
| Start recording the robot's motion on the given joints or joint chains. See http://doc.aldebaran.com/2-8/family/nao_technical/bodyparts_naov6.html#nao-chains for the Nao and http://doc.aldebaran.com/2-5/family/pepper_technical/bodyparts_pep.html for the Pepper. The position of each joint will be recorded the given number of times per second (5 times per second by default if left out). A Example: |
| Cancels any ongoing LED animation. |
| Stops any ongoing motion recording. A |
| Make the (Pepper) robot turn the given number of degrees (-360 to 360). A |
| Get the robot out of rest mode. This is the inverse of the rest action. An |
