I have a NAO robot which runs on linux machine and has IP address. I want to create a simple python based application to control NAO remotely by a web client. My NAO is on local network of the campus. Would you suggest best approach that I can take?
I have explored following options
It seems like each have lots of abstraction layers which make them difficult to understand by just looking into them. Should I need to start with simple Web-socket application to see how things are executing under the hood?. please note that I do not have any experience with real time applications.
I have following idea in mind;
>> I will create a simple python application by using above technologies or any others.
>> I will host that application to a web-server
>> A web-client will send commands to a webserver
>> web-server will fetch commands in real time from the web client (asynchronously listen to a web-client)
>> a python script on robot will subscribe to a web-server program, whenever, server receives commands, robot will be notified in real time and then command will eventually be executed on the robot.
>> similarly, a robot can send something to a web client by sending message to a web-server, then a server will immediately notify subscriber -- web client.
you can think of a robot as a client/subscriber as well.
Please comment on my idea and suggest yours if you think its not efficient.
I am not sure, but if it helps you, why not to try with RobotFrmaework as a option. Using Pybot from python. It is possible to receive commands and execute on the robotframework for the web interactions.
It can be used with selenium2Library using these application. The Robot framework can send something to a web client using the web interaction.
This can be integrated with various API, system uder testing can be easily executed.
