SoftBank Robotics documentation What's new in NAOqi 2.5?

Known issues

To fix a major issue, some fixes have been reverted, so the following issues reappeared in 2.5.11:

  • Bug #35313 Navigation bar displayed in the bottom after used soft keyboard on NAOqi 2.5.
  • Bug #39287 ALTabletService crashes because of null pointer exception after trying to create a cache directory.
  • Bug #38420 Android system UI blackbar is displayed randomly by Tablet Service through tablet browser (reproduced here when a JavaScript alert pop-up).

  • Bug #40192 Critical Issue with ASR & Dialog when changing language.

    ALSpeechRecognitionProxy::setLanguage and ALDialogProxy::setLanguage must not be called at the same time as any other ALSpeechRecognition or ALDialog method.

    Workaround:

    If the problem occurs, reboot the robot.

    To avoid this issue, make sure your application does not try to set the language while any other ALSpeechRecognition or ALDialog method is running.

  • Bug #39571 ALPhotoCapture::takePicture() for Bottom and Top Camera, BGR and 16VGA resolution gives a black picture.
  • Bug #35478 Dialog - Samerule event does not work as expected because dialog is not cleared properly.
  • Bug #37356 ALUserInfo - Age is automatically updated by a wrong value when try to get it.
  • Bug #37958 Cannot upload an application on Store.

  • Bug #34885 ALSystem - reboot() doesn’t work when working with Session.

  • Bug #36453 Choregraphe - Planar move modifications can not be canceled.

  • Bug #35482 ALTextToSpeech.setParameter speed/pitch not working for language Chinese.

    Workaround:

    • To change the pitch, use tag \\vct=XXX\\ (in %).
    • Note that setParameter(speed, XXX) changes the speed AND the pitch of the voice. So, to change the speed, use both tags \\rspd=XXX\\\\vct=XXX\\ (in %).

  • Bug #35905 Non-ASCII characters in file path (name or folder) prevent application download on robot.

    Workaround: do not use Non-ASCII characters when naming files or folders in a Project.

  • Bug #35722 When “<>” in TTS.say in Japanese, TTS doesn’t work anymore.

    Workaround: do not insert character string “<>” in any input to be said by Pepper.

  • Bug #22835 Choregraphe - Play Sound File Box: ALAudioPlayer.wait lock randomly.

    Workaround: do not use .MP3 file format, prefer OGG or WAV files.

  • According to its customization via preferences, Pepper may automatically display Settings Menu at start-up. In this case, and when Pepper automatically reboots after a crash, the Settings Menu appears again, whereas it should not.
  • Bug #33227 Frequent remote disconnection.
