Pipro is a submission to U of T Hacks 2022. The hackathon's theme is Restoration. For the project, we chose to focus on restoring broken pipes to deal with the common and dangerous issue of leaky gas pipes in home or industrial complexes.

The app is a proof-of-concept and does not offer any real solutions. The idea is that there would be drones linking to a web server which would fly around and detect gas leaks. Upon detecting, the user's web dashboard would light up with the location of the leak allowing for quick repairs, or for evacuation if necessary.

First set up and run the server

$ project-direcrory> cd server
$ Sim> pip3 install flask
$ Sim> pip3 install flask-session
$ server> flask run

Run the frontend

$ project-direcrory> cd client
$ client> npm install
$ client> npm run dev

Run Simulation (Make sure to install Python 3.10)

$ project-direcrory> cd Sim
$ Sim> pip3 install pygame
$ Sim> pip3 install requests
$ Sim> python3 main.py

You can then open the application at the follwoing link in your browser

http://localhost:3000/

• Use ASWD to pan the camera
• Use Arrow Keys to move the drone
• Use the Scroll Wheel on your Mouse to Zoom

• Click on red leak notification pings to remove them
