robotInfogeneration(robotName:string, rootFolderPath:string)
This function will get all necessary information from the virtual robot. These infomation are saved in rootFolderPath and will be used to generate robotic Thing description
generateTD(robotName:string, rootFolderPath:string)
Based on information of robot, it could automatically generate the robotic Thing description. For some robot with special structure, we need to manually write script to generate infomation instead of the second function. Based on these information we can directly use this function to generate the Thing Description
