Abstract

In this study, an Android smartphone was used to control a robot of Lego NXT running leJOS by automatically tracking and pushing a ball forward. OpenCV was run on the smartphone for ball recognition. In addition, HCT (Hough Circle Transform) was used to recognize circular objects of particular colors in the environment. Furthermore, the smartphone controlled the robot with Bluetooth wireless communication.
