Infrastructure UMLΒΆ


The design for our project can be represented by the diagram below.

A simple linguistic representation of the diagram is as follows:

We have a Raspberry Pi, which runs a NodeJS server to handle all incoming requests. This server is connected to a MariaDB database, which stores all the exercise data. This data can then be received from the application we built for the Pepper robot. We also have two ESP8266 modules, which are connected to the Pepper robot's Web Server. These modules record angular motion via gyroscopes, and send this data to the web server on the Pepper robot. The web server is a requirement to receive incoming data from the sensors, due to the ESP's not having a dedicated bluetooth chip to communicate with the Pepper robot. The parsed data on the application can then be shown to the user with some feedback regarding their performance.
