Overview

What is our motivation?Where did we start?What have we done?What do we do now? What do we expect to do next?

What is our motivation?Utilizing Android sensors in robotic systems

Lego Mindstorms

Where did we start?Acoustic coupling/TRRSTAN, IOIO etc.

Acoustic Coupling / TRRSTAN

● Servo PWM via Audio (4 Channels)

● no uC! ● works with any

Phone ● Reverse?

IOIO

Google ADK

uC (~ Arduino) and more Sensors/Actors

What have we done?LPCCA, WebmoteRobot, Lego Droidway

LPCCA

- Demo -

Lego Mindstorms Droidway

Sensor Fusion:Android -> Accelerometer, Path planning

Lego NXT -> Gyroscope (and Motors)

Bluetooth

What do we do now?ADK, Droidway

"Real" Droidway

- Big brother of Lego Droidway - inspired by various DIY projects

Droidway - work in Progress

Gyro-Phone + ADK +E-Scooter-Motors

What is next?Interconnection, enhancements

Interconnection & Enhancements

Make use of more Android sensors Camera (e.g. OpenCV) Segway convoi Home automation QR door lock
