Our progress so far

So far we got the back-end ready to go by installing a version of Ubuntu on the BeagleBoard, getting the WiFi and the Kinect drivers to work on the board and have been able to capture video and images to the board's file system. Client and server programs written in C are running and sending text from to BeagleBoard to the server and back. We have also written a simple Android application which can be used to connect to the server to send and retrieve messages, so the app is able to communicate with the BeagleBoard by way of the server.

Next we will change the client, server and application so they support sending and retrieving images as well as text. Also we will focus on making the BeagleBoard work with the Rooma robot.
