Introducing RobotPi

The RobotPi project is a little robot remoted using WiFi and build with a Raspberry Pi 2.

I built RobotPi on my own using several components and I developped the software part to make it movable and remotable.

A bit of soft ...

To control RobotPi wirelessly I need to develop two little separated project.

The server part (Deployed on the Raspberry)
The client part (Deployed on the Remote device)

Both of them are developped using Java. They communicate with each other with Sockets based on the Wifi network.

... and a bit of hard.

In order to remote the two motors of RobotPi using the GPIO port of the Raspberry Pi 2, I need to do some electronics.

I'm not speaking about complicated stuff but it was interresting to apply stuff that I learnt during my two first years of studying at INSA Rennes before joining the Computer Science Department.

The project RobotPi is an open-source project. You can find it on Github.

Download the project (Github)

If you get any issue downloading, using, updating or understanding RobotPi, please do not hesitate to open an Issue on github. I will do my best to give you an answer as soon as possible !

Enjoy ! :)
