Problem Statement

build an interface that controls a robot in real-time

Untitled

while not having a limitation on the type of interfaces(graphical) that can be used

Untitled

Solution

based on the previous semester’s research on Building an IoT System from Scratch

there are 2 feasible options for real-time communication (web-based)

note: websockets RFC 6455

Untitled

so since VR/AR obviously requires a camera feed from a robot to interface and controls go from interface to robot websockets is the only choice (known)

Possible Challenges:

  1. IP Address is usually dynamic (keeps changing), so unless we have a custom domain for each bot, it will be challenging to connect to the bot’s websocket API endpoint from the interface
