The Mobile Robot Framework Project is conducted by students as a project work at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg.
The Goal of this project is to develop a framework for a Raspberry Pi powered robot. The framework should serve the purpose of being a demonstrable and convincing proof of the possibilities of platform-independent mobile apps. It enables a broad variety of devices to interact physically and virtually with their surrounding environment through the robot.
- Java JDK 1.8 -> http://oracle.com
- Node.js v6.0 -> https://nodejs.org/
- NPM -> https://www.npmjs.org/
- Maven -> https://maven.apache.org/
To get the video stream to work on the raspberry pi please have a look at our setup video stream wiki page.
If the backend should be started as systemd service please have a look at our systemd service wiki page.
Global packages:
$ npm install -g bower
$ npm install -g copyfiles
We have preconfigured npm to automatically run bower so we can simply do:
$ npm install
Build the complete project
on Linux and OSX
$ npm run build
or on Windows
$ npm run build:win
creates a jar file in backend/target/
You can start the jar with following arguments:
-m or --use-mocks -> mockup gpio ports
-d or --dev -> developer mode, jetty port = 8000
-h or --help -> show all available arguments
Run unittests for webapp
$ npm test
or as a single run
$ npm run test-single-run
Run end to end tests (Application must be running before starting tests)
$ npm run protractor
Execute maven package build
$ npm run backend:build
Build docker image with the current jar file in target folder
$ npm run docker:build
