The reason it has no name is because it is basically a platform cobbled together by cannibalising some of my other projects. The only point in putting it together is to allow me to get to grips with bluetooth communications and video "vision". Eventually, I want to be able to get the bot to send images to my PC, which will be processed by something like RoboRealm http://www.roborealm.com/ , then recognise objects, send commands by bluetooth to the bot, which will automatically go and collect them. ...

The reason it has no name is because it is basically a platform cobbled together by cannibalising some of my other projects. The only point in putting it together is to allow me to get to grips with bluetooth communications and video "vision".

Eventually, I want to be able to get the bot to send images to my PC, which will be processed by something like RoboRealm http://www.roborealm.com/ , then recognise objects, send commands by bluetooth to the bot, which will automatically go and collect them. (Setting myself high goals?)

You will see in the video that I am still getting used to touch screen technology :) (it took me ages to get even mouse clicks right in the early days ). Also, the camera on the bot picked up interference when my wife kindly decided to choose that moment in time to switch on her PS3, which is between my PC and the room where the bot was. Cheers!

My thanks and credit must go to CtC for helping me get the bluesmirf going properly, https://www.robotshop.com/letsmakerobots/node/24555 and kucza for allowing me access to his android app and letting me modify it for my own purposes https://www.robotshop.com/letsmakerobots/node/24779
