## Pepper Handling
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
To make the handling of the Pepper robot easier, we've made some classes
|
|
that can be used to interact with the robot.
|
|
The classes associated with the Pepper robot interaction are located in the
|
|
`com.example.fitbot.pepper` package. To start interacting with the Pepper robot,
|
|
one must assign a `QiContext` first. This can be done by calling `Pepper.provideQiContext(QiContext context)`
|
|
method. This method takes a `QiContext` object as a parameter. This object is used to interact with the robot.
|
|
|
|
To make the robot talk, one can call the following method:
|
|
```java
|
|
Pepper.say(String text);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To make the robot execute an animation, one can call the following method:
|
|
```java
|
|
Pepper.animate(String animationName);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To make the robot do more sophisticated things, one can call the
|
|
```java
|
|
Pepper.addToEventQueue(AbstractPepperActionEvent event);
|
|
```
|
|
This adds the provided event to the event queue. The event will be executed in the order it was added.
|
|
Whenever there's no valid QiContext available to use, the event will maintain in the queue until one is
|
|
provided.
|
|
|
|
*Note* All Pepper action events are added to a queue, and executed synchronously. This means
|
|
that if the robot is still busy with a task, adding a new event to the queue will not do anything until
|
|
the robot is done with the current task.
|
|
|
|
Currently, the only supported actions are:
|
|
|
|
- `PepperSpeechEvent` - This event makes the robot say something.
|
|
- `PepperAnimationEvent` - This event makes the robot execute an animation.
