Create Your Program

• Implement your code in the runPlan1 and runPlan3 methods in the YourService.java file.

Note: When you open the APK template folder, the “Android Gradle Plugin Update Recommended” dialog may appear. However, you must not update the plugin due to a dependency problem. Select “Don’t remind me again for this project”.

Build the APK

• Select Build ⇒ Make Module ‘app’

• The APK file (app\build\outputs\apk\debug\app-debug.apk) can now be uploaded to the simulation

Run the JAXA Web Simulator

• Upload the APK to the web simulator
  • Log in to Kibo-RPC site https://jaxa.krpc.jp/
  • Click SIMULATION button, then select the left-hand tab (e.g. Preliminary)
  • Drag and drop app-debug.apk with optional memo (e.g. “change moveTo() parameters to rulebook values and add saveMatImage()“) into an available slot and confirm settings
  • Click START SIMULATION, then View Results (Note: the simulation may take 20+ minutes to complete)

• View simulation
  • While simulation is running, click Simulation Viewer button to show remote connection login info and copy the password
  • Click VIEW button which will send you to a NoVNC session to see Astrobee moving in the simulation
