I am trying to learn something by using the ALICE code to let it able to speak. I follow the instruction given by the books "Learning robotic using python" in chapter 8. But I have problem on making it speak and also speech recognition.

To make it speak, I am using sound_play package in ROS. Due to the problem, I tested it with:

> roslaunch sound_play soundplay_node.launch

Then it come out with error as follow:

.. logging to /home/user/.ros/log/bd387f44-f6c5-11e7-ac01-b0359f36d413/roslaunch-user-HP-Laptop-4644.log Checking log directory for disk usage. This may take awhile. Press Ctrl-C to interrupt Done checking log file disk usage. Usage is <1GB.
