🤖 RoboCapture

A photogrammetry robot designed from scratch to autonomously scan indoor spaces.

🛠 Development

• Cross-Platform: This repository is designed to be cross-platform, working on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. We leverage Docker and the devcontainer extension in VSCode to achieve this.

• Testing: Most of the development and testing have been done on Linux. However, it might require slight adjustments when setting up on other operating systems.

🔧 Pre-requisites

1. $(hostname).local should be broadcasted on the network using mDNS. This applies to both the robot and the development computer.
2. Docker must be running on a Linux environment.

🍎 MacOS Specifics

If you're on a Mac, you might need to adjust the Docker permissions:

sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.docker

This ensures Docker can run without requiring sudo every time.

🖥️ X11 Authentication

For enabling X11 forwarding, execute the following command on the host computer:

xhost +local:docker

📝 Notes

Please double-check the file permissions before making a commit to ensure they are appropriate, due to docker created files being owned by root. Fix shall be issued soon.
