RobAIR2013-RICM4-Groupe3-Suivi

= the Team =

Nunes Thomas & Bidois Morgan

We are two engineering students of Polytech'Grenoble in 4th year, in RICM (Computer Networks and Multimedia Communication) with a multimedia speciality. We have a weekly time slot of six hours dedicated of this projet during the semester (january to may).

= Project objective = Our projet is a part of the RobAIR2013 project.

The common projet
It's a common projet with two others establishments: RobAIR project proposes the development of a platform for a telepresence robot for teaching and ambient intelligence. It's a low cost robot (well below the maket price). This platform is extensible and open source.
 * ENSIMAG, an other Grenoble engineering shool.
 * Superior Pole Design of Villefontaine.

Our sub project objectives
We are responsible in this projet to:
 * The communication between the robot and the controller.
 * Visioconferencing between the robot and the controller.
 * The communication between the controller and the tablets which allows the user to controle the robot.
 * The tablet interface to controll the robot.

=Technologies used=


 * Jitsi: XMPP/Jingle client for Visioconferencing.
 * Android/JAVA for tablet interface.
 * JSON/HTTP/CometD to transmit command between robot and controller. (and websocket in place of Cometd, is it better ??? --Admin 22:12, 18 January 2013 (UTC) )

=Material=
 * 1 Intel tablet on Android.
 * 1 other Intel tablet on Ubuntu for the robot (must turn on unix platform).
 * 1 SmartTV to display the visioconferencing.
 * 1 PC connected to the SmartTV.

=Advancement of the project=

The project start the 14th january 2013 and take place in Polytech'Grenoble.

WEEK 1 01/14 - 01/21
We choose and discover the project, objective and the organisation with others teams. Project with big team, 20 persons work on this project (7 polytech electrical engineers, ~4 designers, 6 Polytech enginneers devloppers and others ~6 Ensimag enginneers devloppers). We share informations with others teams to co-ordonate our works.
