- Added 'identifier' column (unique) for machine-readable plugin ID
- 'name' now used for display name only
- Updated trial-execution to look up by identifier first, then name
- Added migration script for existing databases
- Both branch choices now jump to Story Continues (convergence point)
- Add Story Continues step with expressive actions
- Add pre-seeded pending trial for immediate testing
- Fix duplicate comments in seed script
- Update step ordering (Conclusion now step6)
- Re-add say_text, walk_forward, walk_backward, turn_left, turn_right, move_head, turn_head as builtins
- These use standard ROS topics (/speech, /cmd_vel, /joint_angles) that work with most robots
- Plugin-specific actions should still be defined in plugin config
- Remove NAO-specific hardcoded action handlers
- Remove helper methods (executeMovementAction, executeTurnHead, executeMoveArm)
- Keep only generic emergency_stop as builtin
- All robot-specific actions should be defined in plugin config
- Fix handleNextStep to handle both string and object options in conditions
- Add say_with_emotion, bow, wave, nod, shake_head, point combo actions
- Update seed data with nextStepId in wizard_wait_for_response options
- Removes nested .git directory from robot-plugins
- Adds robot-plugins as a proper submodule of hristudio
- Points to main branch of soconnor0919/robot-plugins repository
- This enables proper version tracking and updates of robot plugins
Added comment to clarify that connection state updates happen via
event handlers. Auto-connect now properly handles failures without
retrying automatically, allowing users to manually connect if needed.
The naoqi_bridge_msgs/BatteryState message type doesn't exist in the
NAO6 ROS2 package, causing subscription errors. Removed the battery
topic subscription for now. Battery info can be obtained through
diagnostics or other means if needed in the future.
- Removed non-functional trial WebSocket (no server exists)
- Kept ROS WebSocket for robot control via useWizardRos
- Fixed duplicate ROS connections by passing connection as props
- WizardMonitoringPanel now receives ROS connection from parent
- Trial status uses reliable tRPC polling (5-15s intervals)
- Updated connection badges to show 'ROS Connected/Offline'
- Added loading overlay with fade-in to designer
- Fixed hash computation to include parameter values
- Fixed incremental hash caching for parameter changes
Fixes:
- WebSocket connection errors eliminated
- Connect button now works properly
- No more conflicting duplicate connections
- Accurate connection status display
- Enhanced NAO6 plugin with 15+ actions for comprehensive robot control
- Advanced movement controls: directional walking, precise head/arm positioning
- Speech enhancements: emotional expression, multilingual support, volume control
- Ready for production HRIStudio integration with wizard interface

🤖 Full NAO6 Robot Integration with ROS2 and WebSocket Control
## New Features
- **NAO6 Test Interface**: Real-time robot control via web browser at /nao-test
- **ROS2 Integration**: Complete naoqi_driver2 + rosbridge setup with launch files
- **WebSocket Control**: Direct robot control through HRIStudio web interface
- **Plugin System**: NAO6 robot plugins for movement, speech, and sensors
- **Database Integration**: Updated seed data with NAO6 robot and plugin definitions
## Key Components Added
- **Web Interface**: src/app/(dashboard)/nao-test/page.tsx - Complete robot control dashboard
- **Plugin Repository**: public/nao6-plugins/ - Local NAO6 plugin definitions
- **Database Updates**: Updated robots table with ROS2 protocol and enhanced capabilities
- **Comprehensive Documentation**: Complete setup, troubleshooting, and quick reference guides
## Documentation
- **Complete Integration Guide**: docs/nao6-integration-complete-guide.md (630 lines)
- **Quick Reference**: docs/nao6-quick-reference.md - Essential commands and troubleshooting
- **Updated Setup Guide**: Enhanced docs/nao6-ros2-setup.md with critical notes
