Client Frontend for Controlling Robots Remotely using webRTC

Overview of Project

This repository is part of the Online Robot Remote Control project where users can log in to a website to remotely control one of any number of robots in a fleet from the comfort of their homes using WebRTC.

This particular repository houses the frontend for this project, which a user can use to login with a nickname and enter the queue to try and pair with an available robot. This initiates a WebRTC offer from the frontend which is sent to the Signalling Server. If no answer is returned by an available robot through the Signalling Server, the user is instead placed into a queue to wait for a robot to become available.
