Testa-Rossa-Boxer is a testbed for JavaScript robotics with web-based remote controls.
It's basically an RC car with a web app for its control transmitter. Or it's a web server that can be driven around the room – whichever you prefer.
To begin, the bot uses a Raspberry Pi with Node.js running an Express web server.
The bot/server hosts a mobile web UI – with buttons that allow us to communicate back to the bot in real-time. Socket.io is used to enable the real-time connection via web sockets.
The Johnny-Five robotics library is then used to translate and issue our commands to the bot.
Finally, an Arduino manages these commands and sends physical signals via an H-Bridge Motor Driver to the bot's electric motors.
