ROS Programming: Building Powerful Robots

Playing with PyAIML

Take a Python interpreter Terminal and just try to import the AIML module using the following command:

    >>> import aiml

If the module is loaded properly, the pointer you will come to the next line without getting an error. Congratulations! Your installation is correct.

Let's see how to load an AIML file using this module.

To play with this module, first we need an AIML file. Save the following content in an AIML file called sample.aiml in the home folder. You can save the file anywhere, but it should be in the same path where the Python Terminal was started.

 <aiml version="1.0.1" encoding="UTF-8"> <category> <pattern> MY NAME IS * </pattern> <template> NICE TO SEE YOU <star/> </template> </category> <category> <pattern> ...
