PhoneBot gives old smartphones a new job on two legs
Smartphones combine cameras, motion sensors and powerful processors in devices that fit inside a pocket. These features could also make them useful components for robots, reducing the need to buy and connect separate sensors, processors or other electronics.
Researchers at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA), in the United States, have developed a small humanoid robot that uses an Android mobile phone as a processing and movement control center. Called PhoneBot, the project bets on affordable components with an estimated cost of $400 (about R$ 1.994 in direct conversion). The proposal is to take advantage of devices that have already come out of use to give life to a robot able to wal…
UCLA researchers have developed a humanoid robot called PhoneBot that uses old Android phones for sensing and motion control. The robot, whose hardware (excluding the phone) is estimated to cost around $400, can walk on two legs, follow people, and get back up after falling on its stomach.
A research team at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has developed 'PhoneBot,' a bipedal humanoid robot that uses a used Android smartphone as its brain. The hardware manufacturing cost is estimated at approximately $400 (about 570,000 won), excluding the smartphone. PhoneBot, developed by the UCLA team, is a small humanoid robot that uses an Android smartphone to sense its surroundings and control its movements. It stands about …
Researchers have developed an inexpensive humanoid robot based on an Android smartphone. Control and sensor usage are carried out via a smartphone.
