PDA-Controlled Robot using Bluetooth
Project Type: Wireless Communication, Application Programming, Mobile Robotics
Advisors: Ricardo Gutierrez-Osuna, Siddharth Choudhuri
Project Description:
The goal of this project is to develop a wireless interface that
allows a mobile robot to communicate with a PDA. The wireless
communication between the robot and the handheld will be based on the
Bluetooth standard. The interface will allow the user to control the
vehicle with a number of basic motor primitives, and also receive
information from sensors on-board the vehicle.
Major Goals:
- Learn about the Bluetooth standard, microcontroller interfacing and mobile robotics
- Develop a Bluetooth interface for the microcontroller on board the robot
- Develop protocols and algorithms for communication between the robot and the PDA
Deliverables:
- A wireless communication system between a robot microcontroller and a PDA
- Schematic diagrams, parts list and instructions to assemble the system
- Project documentation, as described in the course syllabus
- Live demonstration
