🤝 Stagehands

Software Plan

Front-end

• Potential components
  • Setup View
    • Draw stage boundries
      • Easy - Draw 2D boundary relative to known robot pose
      • Moderate - WebXR client that allows drawing boundary in AR using a mobile device (which requires localizing the robot relative to the mobile device)
    • Setup robots
      • Pairing to system (LAN)
      • Naming
      • Give unique LEDs
  • Default view
    • Visualization component (3D map view, by default
      • React model of the mic stand with movable components
      • Battery icon that listens for the battery level and sends warning at 10%
    • Editable ‘Playlist’ of poses/locationsThe mapping (possibly AR)
    • Big stop button
    • Selection panel (allows you to cherry pick on a bot)
      • Detailed status
      • Virtual joystick

Bridge

• Basic functionality
  • Host a socket.io server to facilitate communication between bots and web clients
  • Almost stateless
    • Only stores presets and stage boundaries, and translates them to messages to send to bots when requested by web clients
• Implementation details

TurtleBot

• TurtleBot
  • Object detection while pathfinding
  • Sending obstacle data to central server
