NAOqi API & SDKs 2.5¶
Audio¶
Language management improved and secured¶
An application cannot anymore permanently change the language of the robot: setLanguage methods scope is now limited to the application.
For further details, see: How to temporarily change the language of the robot.
Interaction engines¶
New extractor for life: ALMood¶
ALMood is now part of the extractors started automatically by Autonomous Life.
For further details, see: ALMood Activated during Autonomous Life and Extractors management.
Conditions expression language: new types supported¶
The conditions expression language, used by Launch trigger conditions and ALExpressionWatcher, now takes signals and maps.
For further details, see: Conditions expression language.

Python SDK¶
Python SDK includes the qicore
module¶
Starting with 2.5.0, the Python SDK includes the qicore
module, which
should allow you to use qiFile
from Python.
This means that the filesystem hierarchy inside the SDK had to change, you can no longer set PYTHONPATH to where you have extracted the Python SDK.
Instead:
- On Mac and Linux you have to set
PYTHONPTAH
to/path/to/python/sdk/lib/python2.7/site-packages
. - On Windows you have to set
PYTHONPATH
toC:\path\to\python\sdk\lib
.
For further details, see: Python SDK - Installation Guide.
Mac: link with the Python libraries coming from Python.org¶
On Mac we now link with the Python libraries coming from Python.org, instead of using the Python libraries provided by Apple.
This means you have to install Python from python.org and make sure to use
/usr/local/bin/python
when using the Python SDK on Mac.
For further details, see: Python SDK - Installation Guide.
C++ SDK¶
Windows: Visual Studio 2013 instead of 2010¶
Visual Studio 2013 is now supported, replacing Visual Studio 2010.
Note that 2013 is mandatory because our SDK now implements the C++ 11 features available in Visual Studio 2013.
For further details, see: Supported Compiler and IDE.
