Welcome to the Cellphone_Robot and the myRobot wiki! In this wiki you will find all the documentation regarding the project. The goal of this project is to explore the capabilities and influence of autonomous cellphone robotics. To do so, this team is developing an android app that can control and operate robots to perform different tasks. Currently there is one robot that has been built and tested. The robot is a small car with an android cell phone mounted on top of it. The app allows the robot to take in a destination, sent to it through SMS, and navigate to the final destination. There is currently no obstacle avoidance functionality in the app, the robot merely travels from A to B using GPS and the data obtained from Google Directions API; however, through further development, obstacle avoidance may be implemented.
The app in discussion here is called myRobot.
- IOIO Wiki - Much of this project depends heavily on the IOIO OTG board. It is what allows the cellphone to access and control the robot.
- Starter Robot Kit - The first robot built and tested; developed by Makeblock.
- Google Directions API - The GPS information used for navigation within myRobot is obtained from this API.
- Android Studio - This is the IDE currently being used for the project.
- Lily - This is the documentation for the first robot built, which is called Lily. This documentation explains how everything is assembled and connected.
