The project consists of different elements:
Name |
Description |
Demo |
Smart Device |
Mobile application that allows a Waste Truck driver to send a StoreRequest to the Waste Service, specifying the X amount (kg) of Y type (glass or plastic) of waste they want to deposit.
|
|
Virtual Robot |
Web application provided by the customer that simulates a Robot. The robot is confined in a virtual environment (a rectangular room) and can receive commands to perform some actions, such as moving forward/backwards both for a certain amount of time or by steps equal to its length, and to rotate.
|
|
Mapper QAK22 |
Software provided by the customer that exploits Planner functions to map the room in which the robot is located (moving it by steps), and outputs a grid representation file;
|
|
Map Editor |
Desktop graphical application that allows the user to load a map representation and to create a map configuration file by dragging and dropping the room tiles (Home, Indoor, PlasticBox, etc.)
|
|
Waste Service Core |
Main component of the system. It loads a map configuration and manages the Waste Service. It receives Store Requests from the Smart Devices, process them and delegates a Transport Trolley for the waste pick up and dump, in case there is enough space in the requested container.
|
|
Waste Service RPi |
Component that can run on a Raspberry Pi or on a desktop node (simulated). It implements an alarm/warning device: when a ultrasonic sonar (or some distance provider, e.g. the simulator) detects a distance that is lower/greater than a threshold, it sends an event to the system, that will stop/resume the Transport Trolley activity; Waste Service RPi also shows information about the system current state through other components (led, buzzer, LCD display).
|
|
Waste Service GUI |
Web application to monitor the Waste Service status. It displays any useful information about the current state of the system, including a representation of the Waste Area and the robot position inside of it.
