This repository contains the codebase for the Android app that runs on the Cruzr and Tiago robots. The app mainly handles teleconferencing functionality, with some additional robot-specific features in their corresponding branches.
- The
masterbranch is for the Cruzr robot. It runs an embedded Websocket server that exposes APIs for controlling Cruzr-specific operations in addition to the video calling feature. - The
tiagobranch is for the Tiago robot. It only includes the video calling functionality, with no additional robot-specific features.
In general, the code in the tiago branch is more stable than in the master branch, as later updates to the video call functions were not merged back into master.
The app can be compiled into an APK and installed on the robots' onboard tablets. The code has been developed and tested with the relatively outdated Gradle v8.6 and Android SDK 21 to ensure compatibility with the OS version running on the Cruzr robot. If you're working with a different build environment, you may need to downgrade your tools to match these versions in order to compile successfully.
The Cruzr app relies on the Cruzr SDK version 0.1.8, which is included in the app/libs directory of this repository. Documentation for the Cruzr SDK can be obtained upon request from Telstra.
To deploy the app to the Cruzr robot's onboard tablet, you will need a specific adbkey file. This key can also be obtained from Telstra upon request, as it is required for secure deployment via ADB (Android Debug Bridge).
