An attempt to control a Nao robot via a Python back-end using the Flask framework.

• Nao SDK (I used 2.1.4.13)
• Flask library (http://flask.pocoo.org/)

Sidenote: Based on this tutorial http://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/designing-a-restful-api-with-python-and-flask

TO let the Nao say something, send a POST request to /say with application_json as the body data type. The text that the Nao robot needs to say has to be in a Json with text as its key:

curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"text":"Hello, I am Nao!"}' http://localhost:5000/say

To show an approach using the GET http verb, i created an /ask/:textToAsk endpoint. For example go to: http://localhost:5000/ask/HelloHowAreYou
