About

Artoo is a micro-framework for robotics.

It provides a simple, but powerful DSL (domain-specific language) for robots and physical computing.

With Artoo, you can easily connect multiple, different hardware devices together into a single Ruby-powered robotic solution.

Meet The Code

Artoo’s simple code makes telling robots what to do incredibly simple and fun.

All you need to get started is the artoo gem

require 'artoo'

Then hook it up to your robot (in this case, a Sphero):

connection :sphero, adaptor: :sphero, port: '4560'
device :sphero, driver: :sphero

And tell it what to do!

work do
  every(3.seconds) do
    puts "Rolling..."
    sphero.roll 60, rand(360)
  end
end
