Autonomous Coworking Space 🧑‍💻

Gianluca Rea / January 22, 2023

🖥️ Overview

The Autonomous CW Space repository is a project focused on developing an autonomous system for managing and controlling a collaborative workspace. This repository contains the code and resources needed to create a functional autonomous system using modern technologies. The goal of this repository is to document the development process and provide a practical example of building an autonomous system for workspace management.

🦾 Repository

See the code: Autonomous CW Space Repository

🛠️ Features

  • Autonomous Workspace Management: A system designed to autonomously manage and control a collaborative workspace.
  • Modern Technologies: Utilizes modern tools and frameworks to build a responsive and efficient autonomous system.
  • Code Examples: Well-structured and commented code to help understand the implementation details.
  • User Interface: A clean and intuitive user interface for managing workspace information.
  • Backend Integration: Integration with a backend system to handle data storage and retrieval.

Project Description

This project consists in a set of containers running in Docker and automatically configured using the file docker-compose.yml. In the following the description of them:

  • MAPE-K-Loop / Managing System containers

    • Monitor: The monitor has been realized using Telegraf. It gets the data from the MQTT Broker and store it in the knowledge (InfluxDB)
    • Analyzer: The analyzer is a Java application and it is contained in the ./cwspace-analyzer/ subfolder.
    • Planner: The planner is a Spring Boot Application and it is stored in the ./cwspace-planner/ subfolder in this repo.
    • Planner: The planner is a Spring Boot Application to and it is stored in the ./cwspace-proactive-planner/ subfolder in this repo. On default this is commented in the docker-compose.yml file, if we want to use it instead of the default planner we can decomment this proactive service and commend the other one.
    • Executor: This is a Java Application and it is stored under the path ./cwspace-executor/.
    • Knowledge: The knowledge of the loop has been realized using InfluxDB (https://www.influxdata.com),

  • Managed System containers:

    • cwspace-enviroment: A Nodejs application which simulate the enviroment of the office rooms.
    • node-red: A NodeRed which simulate the sensors and actuators of the office rooms.

  • Other services containers

    • grafana_container: A dashboard which allow us to graphically monitor the system and check if it is working properly.
    • mosquitto_container: The Mosquitto MQTT Broker which manages all the MQTT messages exchanged in the system (almost all the components communicate through MQTT protocol).
