Methods

RobotFullState ALRobotMood::getFullState()

Gets the estimated emotional state of the robot through a RobotFullState struct.

Returns:A struct containing the values of each emotional descriptor of a robot.

This is organized as follows, in C++:

};
struct ValueConfidence
{
   float value;
   float confidence;
};

In python:

RobotFullState =
{
   "pleasure":
   {
     "value": float
     "confidence": float
   }
   "excitement":
   {
     "value": float
     "confidence": float
   }
}

Valence value is ranged from -1 to 1; excitement value is ranged from 0 to 1; confidence is ranged from 0 to 1.

};

In python:
