<p><b>New page</b></p><div>CLIPS [http://www.ghg.net/clips/CLIPS.html] is an AI programming language, used in the<br />
course 31380, Intelligent Systems [http://www.iau.dtu.dk/teaching/31380/].<br />
<br />
At Automation we have made a special version of CLIPS with an interface to our Small<br />
Mobile Robots. This version is available both in GNU/Linux and MS Windows.<br />
<br />
The interface provides the following 3 CLIPS functions.<br />
<br />
'''SMRConnect'''<br />
SMRConnect()<br />
SMRConnect(hostname)<br />
SMRConnect(hostname, port)<br />
In the first form, CLIPS must be running on the SMR itself.<br />
In the second form, CLIPS can be running on any computer on the network.<br />
In the third form, a non-standard port number can be specified - this is not normally needed.<br />
hostname: The SMR to connect to. A string or symbol.<br />
port: The TCP port to connect to. An integer.<br />
<br />
A connection is established to the SMR server program.<br />
The return value is a Boolean, indicating success or failure.<br />
<br />
NB! Before the SMRConnect call is performed the clipsserver must be started on the used SMR i.e.<br />
logon the SMR using ssh, start the server /usr/local/smr/bin/clipsserver and choose menupoint 17.<br />
<br />
'''SMRTalk'''<br />
SMRTalk(command)<br />
command: The command to send to the SMR server. A string.<br />
<br />
A command is sent to the SMR server program and the response is returned.<br />
The return value is a string.<br />
<br />
'''SMRDisconnect'''<br />
SMRDisconnect()<br />
<br />
Any existing connection to an SMR is terminated. The return value is the Boolean TRUE.<br />
<br />
'''Example'''<br />
$ /usr/local/smr/bin/smrclips <br />
CLIPS (V6.21 06/15/03)<br />
CLIPS> (SMRConnect smr4)<br />
TRUE<br />
CLIPS> (SMRTalk "fwd 1 @v0.2")<br />
"ID1"<br />
CLIPS> (SMRTalk "eval $odox")<br />
"0.997012 "<br />
CLIPS> (SMRTalk "getevent 5")<br />
"ID1 stopcond 0.000000"<br />
CLIPS> (SMRDisconnect)<br />
TRUE<br />
