Susan Lin – Looking Outwards – 2: Multitouch Remote Robot Control

by susanlin @ 7:49 pm 11 January 2011

As the title suggests, this is what it sounds like: an iPhone app which can be used to control a robot. All the controls are multitouch input.

This is inspiring because it makes robotics accessible — particularly in my case since my background is art/design. The multitouch input is intuitive which brings up the idea that anyone can control a robot with ease. As a bonus, the creator explains how he did it in detail w/ the source code available online (Read: 200 lines of Javascript and Python).

In its current state, the controls are still basic. However, it is obvious that this can be a good baseline for some really interesting projects in the future.
