A Python project that creates an HTTP API with functionality abstraction. These microservices control the robotic arm, therefore can be called Cyber-Physical Microservices.
HTTP GET and HTTP POST requests call python3 functions, which control the arm. Higher levels of abstraction use the previously mentioned HTTP endpoints to extend the functionality. The whole point is reusability and easy customization.
The higher level microservices are implemented using the functions of the primitive microservices.
Future self talking here, when a composite service uses a primitive I should've hit it with http, would've been more cloud-y that way.
This project is part of my integrated master thesis on Cyber Physical Microservices under the supervision of prof. Kleanthis Thramboulidis. This is a project using documentation (communication API) provided by Dobot aiming to control three Dobot Magician robotic arms in collaboration and perform a series of tasks on two testbenches. Big thanks to Alex Gustafsson for the communication API implementation as seen here!
