RoboVibe - Strategy and Mission Planning Platform

RoboVibe is an interactive, visual path-planning, physics-based simulation, and strategy platform designed for mobile robots. It combines precise field mapping, physics-based simulation, and comprehensive mission management to help teams, educators, and hobbyists design reliable robot runs (specifically tailored for competitive robotics like FIRST LEGO League and World Robot Olympiad).

RoboVibe

Why RoboVibe Exists

Designing reliable robot missions requires more than just drawing a line. It demands accurate geometry, an understanding of physics, and strategic scoring:

  • Precision: Design on a 1:1 scale field map where every millimeter counts.
  • Physics Intuition: Visualize wheel slip, friction, and dynamic errors before you run the robot on physical tables.
  • Strategy & Scoring: Manage mission objectives, track scores, and optimize your run for maximum points.
  • Reproducibility: Export clean, kinematic-aware code (Python/Pybricks) ready for your robot.

Key Modules & Detailed Features

🗺️ Interactive Map Planner (/)

  • 2D & 3D Vector Canvas: Switch between precise 2D field planning and 3D visualization.
  • Smart Editing & Arcs: Drag-and-drop waypoints with magnetic grid/angle snapping; convert straight segments to smooth Bezier curves or radius arcs.
  • Physics Simulation: Real-time wheel slip probability overlays, centrifugal force warnings, acceleration limits, and dynamic friction analysis.
  • Code Generation: Instant export to structured kinematic-aware Python code (Pybricks, SPIKE Prime, EV3).
  • Multi-Layer Overlays: Toggle path layers, robot footprints, measurement dimension lines, and playback controls.

⚡ Visual Flow Engine (/flow)

  • Reactive Node Canvas: Node-based visual programming environment for telemetry processing, filtering, and hub control.
  • Rich Node Library: Built-in nodes for BLE sensors, transforms, motor/drivebase outputs, speech, sound, manual inputs, and custom Python execution.
  • Group & Subflow Support: Group nodes into simple containers or sealed subflows (G shortcut) with dedicated subflow tab views.
  • Alignment & Equal-Gap Distribution: Align selected nodes (Top, Middle, Bottom, Left, Center, Right) or distribute with equal spacing horizontally/vertically via context menus.
  • Group-Aware Clipboard: Full Cut (Cmd/Ctrl+X), Copy (Cmd/Ctrl+C), and Paste (Cmd/Ctrl+V) support with top-level selection filtering and visual copy checkmark badges.

🧠 AI & Machine Learning Lab (/ai)
