Robot controlled by HTC HD2
Its not the most elegant control scheme, but here we have a video showing a Protos 3 Robot controlled by a HTC HD2.
Protos III is a universal robot used for experimenting with Wi-Fi,Computer vision, line following, navigation and through WIFI. The vision system uses the build in webcam of the netbook and then sends the X and Y axes of the detected object back an Arduino unit through USB cable. The robot then steers and navigate to the target.
The robot has been used in a SWARM test where a number of robots are controlled from the same notebook via WIFI. Protos III.
The robot is a project by Calex64 and is written up in detail on Letsmakerobots.com.
HTC HD2 controlling a droid!
It’s not quite a Parrot AR.Drone, but it’s what I can do in an afternoon with left a bunch of leftovers.

I’m trying to show off what WM can do apart from being a very good mobile email platform.
I’m using the HD2 with its accelerometer to send data about a heading to an Arduino via bluetooth. The Arduino then controls the motor speed, enabling turning and things. Currently, there’s a computer sat between the HD2 and the Arduino because I don’t have a serial bluetooth module. (The computer just takes the bluetooth data and dumps it down a USB cable).
What do you lot think? What can I add?
