Smartphone Robot Controller Daniel Hasday Muhammad Iskandar Matthew Maggiore Muhamad Shokri

The Concept Control a robot with an Android smartphone o Full 360 degree movement o Peripherals Allow multiple phones to access the robot o Each phone controls a component o Each phone has a different user interface Constant feedback (streaming video)

Existing Systems iCreate robot controlled by an iPhone o Onboard computer to communicate with robot o Firewire Webcam streams video over WiFi o Single user (can only control movement) o Tilt phone to move in any direction  Zero fixed to starting orientation

Proposed System Allow multiple phones to control tasks of the robot o Driver o Speaker o Camera o Missile launcher or another peripheral device Onboard computer as the robot’s “brain” Master-Slave architecture for phones o Master will have total control over the access to the robot  Can allow other phones to communicate with robot  Can disconnect phones from robot Use Wi-Fi o to send commands from phones to computer o for phones to receive live stream from the cameras

Summary of Work to Date Created project website: Discussed existing systems with ISIS Created shell Android application in repository Mocked up user interfaces Began defining roles and user capabilities

Control System Onboard computer o Filter external commands o Communicates with robot and phones o Connected to peripheral devices and camera o Streams video over WiFi Remote phones o Send user commands o Robot movement o Receive and Play video Wireless Communication
