Nov 21, 2015 What do I mean by Robotics? What do you think robotics is? What do you imagine when you here Robotics?

Nov 21, 2015Stamo Petkov JS Robotics

Nov 21, 2015 The word “Robotics” • Rossum’s Universal Robots, 1921, Karel Čapek o Labori / from latin “labor” o Roboti / from Old Church Slavonic “rabota” • The Liar, 1942, Isaak Asimov o Robotics – by analog with “Mathematics” and “Physics” • Robotics – definition, Meriam Webster o technology dealing with the design, construction, and operation of robots in automation Stamo Petkov JS Robotics

Nov 21, 2015 Why JS Robotics? Really?! Who needs explanation why JavaScript is super cool?

Nov 21, 2015 Why JS Robotics? • JavaScript is easy to learn yet powerful programming language • Every web developer knows enough JavaScript to start building robots immediately • You can develop and run it on any platform. No special tools or additional payments required • Rich frameworks that encapsulate the hard part of robot programming • Very large community with hundreds of examples and demo projects • Cheap hardware* Stamo Petkov JS Robotics

Nov 21, 2015 Firmata • Firmata is a protocol for communicating with microcontrollers from software on a computer (or smartphone/tablet, etc). • The intention of this protocol is allow as much of the microcontroller to be controlled as possible from the host computer. • The data communication format uses MIDI messages. • Commands bytes are 8 bits and data bytes are 7 bits. • Sysex-based commands are used for an extended command set. Stamo Petkov JS Robotics

Nov 21, 2015 Firmata SysEx • Midi System Exclusive (Sysex) messages can be any length and are therefore used most prominently throughout the Firmata protocol. • The idea for SysEx is to have a second command space using the first byte after the SysEx start byte. • The key difference is that data can be of any size, rather than just one or two bytes for standard MIDI messages. • Generic SysEx Message Stamo Petkov JS Robotics 0 START_SYSEX (0xF0) (MIDI System Exclusive) 1 sysex command (0x00-0x7F) 7-bit bytes of arbitrary data N END_SYSEX (0xF7) (MIDI End of SysEx - EOX)

Nov 21, 2015 Firmata Implementations • Firmata library for Arduino and Arduino-compatible devices o There are two main models of usage of Firmata • Use various methods provided by the Firmata library to selectively send and receive data between the Arduino device and the software running on the host computer • load a general purpose sketch called StandardFirmata (or one of the variants such as StandardFirmataPlus or StandardFirmataEthernet depending on your needs) on the Arduino board and then use the host computer exclusively to interact with the Arduino board • Firmata for Sparks (now Particle) o Prototyping tools for the Internet of Things Stamo Petkov JS Robotics

Nov 21, 2015 Firmata client libraries • Several Firmata client libraries have been implemented in a variety of popular programming languages: o Procesing - funnel o Python – pyduino, python-firmata, pyFirmata, pyMata o Perl – perl-firmata, rx-firmata o ruby – rufinol, funnel o clojure – clodiuno, clj-firmata o JavaScript – beakout, johny-five o java – Javarduino, firmata4j o .NET – firmatanet, Arduino o Flash/AS3 – as3glue, funnel o PHP – carica-fermata, phpmake_firmata o Haskell - hArduino o iOS - iosfirmata o Dart - firmata o Max/MSP - maxuino Stamo Petkov JS Robotics

Nov 21, 2015 Breaking out of the computer

Nov 21, 2015 Breakout • Simple platform to enable designers to prototype functional web-based interfaces to the physical world • Arduino platform and the Firmata protocol are leveraged to enable users to access physical input and output purely from JavaScript • You can also use Breakout with PhoneGap to create applications that use native device sensors and actuators (accelerometer, compass, vibration motor, etc.) and native multimedia features along with external sensors and actuators such as servo motors, motion detectors, etc. • simple WebSocket and HTTP server that bridges an I/O board (such as Arduino) to a web browser Stamo Petkov JS Robotics

Nov 21, 2015Stamo Petkov JS Robotics Breakout

Nov 21, 2015Stamo Petkov JS Robotics Hello Breakout world var IOBoard = BO.IOBoard; var BOLed = BO.io.LED; var arduino = new IOBoard("localhost", 8887); var led = new BOLed(arduino, arduino.getDigitalPin(11)); $('#btnLeft').on('click', function(evt){ led.on(); }); $('#btnRight').on('click', function(evt){ led.off(); });

Nov 21, 2015 Give me Johnny Five

Nov 21, 2015 Johnny five • Open Source, Firmata Protocol based, IoT and Robotics programming framework • Programs can be written for Arduino (all models), Electric Imp, Beagle Bone, Intel Galileo & Edison, Linino One, Pinoccio, pcDuino3, Raspberry Pi, Particle/Spark Core & Photon, Tessel 2, TI Launchpad and more • Johnny-Five program can run o In an on-board Linux environment o On a host machine tethered (via Serial USB or Ethernet) to a client o On a host machine communicating over Wifi to the client o On a host machine communicating over Bluetooth to the client Stamo Petkov JS Robotics

Nov 21, 2015 Johnny five flexible design • Communicates with different platforms through IO Plugins. An IO Plugin is any class whose instances implement a Firmata compatible interface • board-io o An extendable implementation of Johnny Five's IO Plugins o Implements all required and optional methods, along with the required constants - MODE, HIGH, LOW, etc. • TODO: Define pluggable transports, for example: replacing node-serialport with socket.io-serialport and similar Stamo Petkov JS Robotics

Nov 21, 2015 Hello Johnny five! var five = require("johnny-five"); var board = new five.Board(); board.on("ready", function() { var led = new five.Led(13); led.blink(500); }); Stamo Petkov JS Robotics
