Checking the efficacy of reading to robot as a support for teachers in engaging kids with reading.

See specific steps for each robot in Installation.

For information about the robots' movements, see Design.

After installing this package, a few different scripts will be available on your machine.

The robot control should be launched separately from the speech recognition, meaning that to start an interaction with a robot, you need to:

1. Launch the robot controller.

   You can do this directly with:

   read_to_robot <robot-name> [--options]
   

   Or using the robot-specific launch scripts: launch_miro, launch_nao. Examples:

   launch_nao <NAO's IP>
   

   launch_miro <MIRO's IP>
   

2. Launch the speech service:

   speech_service.py
   

Optionally, the robot can be controlled by publishing directly to MQTT, in the following form:

mosquitto_pub -t "speech/cmd" -m "happy"
