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:

• ENSIMAG, an other Grenoble engineering shool.
• Superior Pole Design of Villefontaine.

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.

Our sub project objectives

We are responsible in this projet to:

• The robot and the computer controller communication.
• The computer controller and tablets communication to delegate the control to mobile device.
• The tablet interface to controll the robot.
• Visioconferencing enter the robot and the controller.

Technologies used

• Jitsi: XMPP/Jingle for Visioconferencing.
• Android/JAVA for tablet interface.
• JSON/HTTP/Cometd to transmit command enter robot and the 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, cause roughly 20 persons works 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.
