1. Overview
Interactions are a simplified and easy-to-use way to interact with end-users, when trying to express a message like letting the user know that the robot is waiting for some input, that it's processing info or that the battery level is low.
Due to the amount of communication outputs that the robot have (sound, head leds, chest leds, movements, touch screen, etc..), it can be complex to create a clear and simple interaction message. That's exactly the reason we developed the interactions controller - to use all those communication methods together, scheduled in an optimized way to pass the message clearly.
2. Interactions types

| performing_task | head leds, chest leds | an interaction used to show that the robot is busy performing something | Illustration of performing a task |

async def setup(self):
self.interactions = await self.enable_controller('interactions')
...
