ViRHaS is a ominidirectional robot, based on Triskar model, equipped with two Raspberry Pi Cameras. These cameras can be used either to watch video streaming from multiple devices, either to control robot in 3D mode: this mode is available both for smartphone (inside a VRBOX) and for PC plugged to a 3D-ready screen.

Requirements

ViRHaS is structured into 3 parts:

- Raspberry Pis are the hub of the entire robot: they handle both video and control streaming: one raspberry, the one with local address 192.168.1.3 is the master, while the other (192.168.1.4) is a slave device and only handles video transmission;

-Arduino Mega is used to control the motors: it's a slave device, controlled by master Raspberry Pi: Raspberry sends over USB serial to the Arduino a byte vector, which contains all speed components; then Arduino computes PID and control motors over PWM;

- User device: it may be any modern electronical device, for example laptop, smartphone, desktop computer, etc... ; the device receives video streaming and sends controls.
