Abstract

In this paper, we present an innovative robotic system with augmented smartphones. We propose a smartphone accelerometer controlled differential steering algorithm and implement it on a two-motor driven robotic vehicle with real-time videorendering. In the system design, we create two self-validating protocolsthat build upon our Bluetooth communication network. The overall performance is evaluated by two projects, MOCOVE and RIZZY. The proposed system can be used in robotic remote control, autonomy, robotic localization and human-robot interaction.
