How can one create a robot which respondes to input following a flowchart?

Question

What are the most basic skills and components needed for creating a robot which gets two "yes" or "no" inputs with two push buttons, and goes down the defined flowchart and plays the relevant audio file each time it gets an input.

a flowchart like this:

____question 1_____________
|                         |
Yes                       No
|                         |
question 2___             question 3______
|           |             |              |
Yes         No            Yes            No
|           |             |              |
question 4  question 5    question 6     question 7
...

Answer 1

It would really be more of a programming problem than an actual robotics one. Either way, you would be programming this logic into it anyways. Basically, it would be a series of if/then statements that would get you to where you need to go.

Example:

//ask question here and get input (button press)
if( the button pressed was yes){

    //ask the next question, and get more input, repeat this process
}else{
    //do the other button's side of the flowchart
}

Using this method, you would be able to setup your flowchart's logic flow perfectly.

Alternately, you could also use a switch/case, to get the same effect.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then be more specific as to how you are controlling this thing
