Palm Robot
Hi everybody, I would like to show you one of my robotics projects, it’s a mobile robot integrated with a Handheld Computer (Palm). The main idea of this project was to use the Palm as a brain for the robot. I built the robot and I communicated it with the PDA via serial communication (RS232). I must confess that the project isn’t very new, but it allowed me to continue my work between the integration of mobile robots and mobile devices. I’ll share with you some of my newest designs soon.
Currently I’m working in some new stuff between Virtual Reality and Robotics Simulators. I’m building a new robot to be control by an iPhone using Touch Screen and Bluetooth, I already made some projects involving touching sensor area and robotics control. I hope I’ll finish it by the end of this year.
As for now I hope you enjoy this one.
PS: Fritsl it’s nice that we solved our little misunderstood, I hope we can put our best to make this website a standard in Robotics Communities for sharing ideas and projects, as I told you, I really like this site.
Best Regards
Daniel
