Services

Under this page you can find more information about all services that can currently available within the SIC framework (Note: not every service is 100% stable!):

• Corona Checker

• Dialogflow

• Emotion Detection

• Face Recognition

• People Detection

• Robot Memory

• Sentiment Analysis

• Stream Audio & Stream Video

• Text-to-Speech

• Web Server

• Wizard-of-Oz Interface

Note: Ensure you are up to speed with the usage of dockers and local drivers (if needed). Each service will most likely require at least one docker-service running while utilizing at least one sensor or actuator. Each service will mention the required services and sensors and actuators for its usage.

What Is (Not) a Service?

A service is required to:

• use input from a device and/or another service

• do more than 1 line of code in processing

• give output that is useful for another service and/or an application

Additionally, it should be reusable/generic (i.e. more than 1 specific application can make use of the service).

A service should only relate to the software aspect of the SIC framework. An example of what would NOT count as a service is integrating both a third-party device (e.g.: smartwatch) and the data collected from it into an application. In this case, the device should be added separately as one, and the data collection and processing should be turned into a service itself.
