Introduction
Humanoid explores Android apps like human. It uses deep learning techniques to borrow experiences from app usage traces generated by human.
Currently Humanoid works with DroidBot. When DroidBot explores an Android app in model-based policy, it will generate several possible input events according to current UI state. Humanoid than sort the events such that events that will be performed by human most likely will be fired first.
Prerequisite
- Python 3.x
- Tensorflow
- DroidBot
- PyFlann (one may need to make it work under Python 3 according to its README)
Needed only if one wants to train Humanoid model from scratch:
- RICO dataset
Quick Start
NOTES BEFORE USAGE: When used with DroidBot, Humanoid supports 1280x720, 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 screens only. Also, the Android navigation bar should be turned on.
Humanoid is an XMLRPC service which can be shared among multiple DroidBot instances.
First, start Humanoid service by
$ python3 agent.py -c config.json
After seeing
=== Humanoid RPC service ready at localhost:50405 ===
one can start DroidBot instances with -humanoid localhost:50405
parameter. Now DroidBot will make use of Humanoid model when using model-based policies, such as dfs_greedy
. See DroidBot README page for more usage details.
Modify domain
and port
values in config.json
in the same directory to deploy Humanoid service at other addresses.
