The netris-sample-robot is a demonstration or template application designed to interact with the Netris network automation platform. It serves as an example for developers and network operators to understand how to build automated tasks, tests, or operational bots that leverage Netris's API. Typically, it showcases basic automation workflows such as fetching network state, applying sample configurations, or performing routine health checks.

It's not a standalone network device, but rather a client-side tool or script that executes commands and queries against a Netris controller, providing a foundational starting point for more complex custom automation scenarios tailored to specific operational needs.

This command is not a standard Linux utility but an application specific to the Netris platform. Its exact behavior, options, and arguments are entirely dependent on the specific implementation provided by Netris or a custom build. It typically requires an active Netris controller instance and proper API credentials to function correctly. Running it without understanding its specific purpose and potential impact on your Netris environment is not recommended, as it interacts directly with your network automation infrastructure.

The netris-sample-robot is primarily used for:
1. Learning and Development: Provides a hands-on example for understanding Netris API interactions and automation principles.
2. Testing and Validation: Can be adapted to create automated tests for a Netris deployment or specific network configurations.
3. Starter Template: Serves as a foundational script for building more complex, custom automation solutions tailored to specific operational needs.
4. Demonstrations: Used to showcase Netris's automation capabilities to potential users or during training sessions.

As a 'sample' application, the history of netris-sample-robot is typically tied to the development lifecycle of the Netris platform itself. It evolves to demonstrate new features, API capabilities, or best practices for automation with Netris. It's often updated with new Netris releases to reflect changes in the platform's API or functionalities, ensuring it remains a relevant and up-to-date example for users seeking to implement network automation.
