I am trying to use ALDialog module to have a virtual conversation with the Choregraphe simulated NAO6 robot. I have the below script:
import qi
import argparse
import sys
def main(session):
"""
This example uses ALDialog methods.
It's a short dialog session with two topics.
"""
# Getting the service ALDialog
ALDialog = session.service("ALDialog")
ALDialog.setLanguage("English")
# writing topics' qichat code as text strings (end-of-line characters are important!)
topic_content_1 = ('topic: ~example_topic_content()\n'
'language: enu\n'
'concept:(food) [fruits chicken beef eggs]\n'
'u: (I [want "would like"] {some} _~food) Sure! You must really like $1 .\n'
'u: (how are you today) Hello human, I am fine thank you and you?\n'
'u: (Good morning Nao did you sleep well) No damn! You forgot to switch me off!\n'
'u: ([e:FrontTactilTouched e:MiddleTactilTouched e:RearTactilTouched]) You touched my head!\n')
topic_content_2 = ('topic: ~dummy_topic()\n'
'language: enu\n'
'u:(test) [a b "c d" "e f g"]\n')
# Loading the topics directly as text strings
topic_name_1 = ALDialog.loadTopicContent(topic_content_1)
topic_name_2 = ALDialog.loadTopicContent(topic_content_2)
# Activating the loaded topics
ALDialog.activateTopic(topic_name_1)
ALDialog.activateTopic(topic_name_2)
# Starting the dialog engine - we need to type an arbitrary string as the identifier
# We subscribe only ONCE, regardless of the number of topics we have activated
ALDialog.subscribe('my_dialog_example')
try:
raw_input("\nSpeak to the robot using rules from both the activated topics. Press Enter when finished:")
finally:
# stopping the dialog engine
ALDialog.unsubscribe('my_dialog_example')
# Deactivating all topics
ALDialog.deactivateTopic(topic_name_1)
ALDialog.deactivateTopic(topic_name_2)
# now that the dialog engine is stopped and there are no more activated topics,
# we can unload all topics and free the associated memory
ALDialog.unloadTopic(topic_name_1)
ALDialog.unloadTopic(topic_name_2)
if __name__ == "__main__":
session = qi.Session()
try:
session.connect("tcp://desktop-6d4cqe5.local:9559")
except RuntimeError:
print ("\nCan't connect to Naoqi at IP desktop-6d4cqe5.local(port 9559).\nPlease check your script's arguments."
" Run with -h option for help.\n")
sys.exit(1)
main(session, "desktop-6d4cqe5.local")
My simulated robot has desktop-6d4cqe5.local as IP address and its NAOqi port is running on 63361. I want to run the dialogs outside of the Choregraphe in a python script and only be able to use the dialog box within the Choregraphe to test it. When I ran the above python file I got:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\...\Documents\...\choregraphe_codes\Welcome\speak.py", line 6, in <module>
import qi
File "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\pynaoqi\lib\qi\__init__.py", line 93
async, PeriodicTask)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I couldn't figure out the problem as there was not much resources online and the robot's documentations are a bit hard to understand.
Please help, thank you.
You are running the script using a Python version greater than 3.5, that sees async
as a keyword, now.
NAOqi only supports Python 2.
Try running your script with python2
explicitly.
