Testing Red Ball Demo

[pattacini]

I've implemented a specific test covering the so-called Red Ball Demo available from the icub-basic-demos repository.

Do git pull --rebase && make install of icub-basic-demos before proceeding.

The test can be launched by calling:

$ testrunner --verbose --suit suits\demoRedBall-icubSim.xml

and it will check whether a couple of ball positions are reached and gazed at by the robot. Homing the upper-body is also verified.

To have a quick flavor of this new test, watch the animation below:

@apaikan I've had the opportunity to work a bit with RTF these days, and it's a very great tool 😄

@triccyx I managed to run the test following these steps.

Clone & build & install icub-basic-demos

$ git clone https://github.com/robotology/icub-basic-demos.git
$ mkdir icub-basic-demos/build && cd icub-basic-demos/build
$ ccmake .. && make install

Make icub-tests's plugins discoverable

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path-to-icub-tests/build/plugins

Launch the test

$ cd icub-tests/suites
$ robottestingframework-testrunner --verbose --suite demoRedBall-icubSim.xml

Ok, thanks! the export makes the difference.
