Robonomics

Implementation of a https://robonomics.network node in Rust, based on the Substrate framework.

This repo contains runtimes for the Earth Parachain, Mars Parachain, and Robonomics Relay chain networks. The README provides information about installing the robonomics binary and developing on the codebase. For more specific guides, like how to be a node, see the Robonomics Wiki.

Robonomics platform includes a set of open-source packages and infrastructure for Robotics, Smart Cities and Industry 4.0 developers.

1. Try it out

Get Node and/or Open Portal.
Run the Robonomics Playground.

2. The Robonomics Crates

Structure of Robonomics followed:

Robonomics Node - substrate-based blockchain node with Robonomics Network extensions.
Robonomics CLI - console line primitives that make framework functions runnable.
Robonomics Protocol - network library that helps to build P2P communication in Industry 4.0 and Smart City cases.
Robonomics Frame - a collection of pallets suitable for Smart City and Industry 4.0 cases.

3. Building from source

Ensure you have Rust and the support software installed:

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

You will also need to install the following packages:

Linux:

sudo apt install cmake git clang libclang-dev protobuf-compiler

Mac:
```
brew install cmake pkg-config git llvm
```

Windows (PowerShell):

# Install LLVM
# Download and install the Pre Build Windows binaries
# of LLVM  from http://releases.llvm.org/download.html

Install robonomics node from git source.

cargo install --force --git https://github.com/airalab/robonomics --tag v3.0.0 robonomics

And then launch full node of robonomics testnet parachain.

robonomics

Or run your local development network.

robonomics --dev

3.1. Building with Nix

Install Nix package manager:
```
curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
```

Run in Nix shell:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/airalab/robonomics && cd robonomics
nix-shell --run "cargo run --release"

4. Network maintaining

Currently Robonomics is maintained by developers but anyone can support the project. Every additional full node of blockchain helps it to be more sustainable and fault tolerant. Robonomics node binaries is available in release assets or it could be build from source.

4.1. Gatekeepers updates

Release:
Telemetry: https://telemetry.parachain.robonomics.network/#list/RobonomicsEarth

Launch command:

robonomics --collator --lighthouse-account [YOUR_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS]

5. Robotics integration

Of course, Robonomics should integrate open-source robotics, our main target is ROS-enabled robots. The node implements a few features to make robotics integration as easy as it possible.
