[pandorabots-general] Alicebot to control device

[Ariyo Nugroho]

Oops... So it's because of waiting human approval? I thought my emails
failed :D I'm sorry Mr Stanley. I beg your pardon for a little
flooding this list :)

Using avatar? Wow... it's very challenging idea. Many things to catch
up. Wish me luck :)

BTW, for now my construction design roughly looks like this:

Plant <----> Controller <----> server PC <----> LAN connection <----> client PC

1. Plant:
    consists of:
    a. sensor: temperature sensor
    b. actuator: heater and fan
2. Controller
    using Zelio Smart Relay SR3B101BD from Schneider
3. Server PC
    This is where ALICE installed. To pass parameter from/to
Controller. Passing will be done using <system> tag. I'm still
evaluating, whether using Program E or Program D.
4. Client PC
    Speech recognizer and TTS installed here. Commands and response
will be passed from/to the server via HTTP (xmlrpc).

May be you'll ask, why i use 2 PC as server and client all at once,
instead of just using single PC as interface to the controller. The
reason is simple: my professor wants that :D The initial plan was just
controlling PLC over TCP/IP. I added ALICE plan later. Because i think
control interface using push button in HTML form would be just too
old-fashioned :)
