A quick and dirty example on how to use the ALRobotPosture API on a NAO or Pepper robot

basics.py

from naoqi import ALBroker    
from naoqi import ALProxy

# start a local broker that connects to the NAO
robot_ip = "your-ip-here"
myBroker = ALBroker("myBroker", "0.0.0.0", 0, robot_ip, 9559)

# get a handle to the module
posture_proxy = ALProxy("ALRobotPosture")
tts_proxy = ALProxy("ALTextToSpeech")

announcement = "I am in posture {posture}. It is part of {posture_family}."

# list current postures
postures = posture_proxy.getPostureList()
print(postures)

# round-trip through all available postures
for posture in postures:
    posture_proxy.goToPosture(posture, 1.0)
    posture_family = posture_proxy.getPostureFamily()

    # not needed, just for demonstration
    posture_name = posture_proxy.getPosture()

    tts_proxy.say(announcement.format(posture=posture_name, 
                                      posture_family=posture_family))
