SoftBank Robotics documentation What's new in NAOqi 2.8?

Sound processing

<< return to C++ examples

Overview

The ALSoundProcessing example module shows how to process sound data and interact with ALMemory. It writes the RMS power of all four channels in ALMemory.

This is a remote or local module.
