Yong-Ho Seo · 2013
Smart devices are becoming an affordable main computing resource for robotic applications in accordance to the fast growth of mobile internet environment. Methodologies for acquisition of remote sensory information and control of various types of robots using smart devices have been proposed recently. This paper reviews representative methods of remote sensing and control for robotic applications based on smart devices. These methods mainly deal with acquiring and processing sensory data from a robot and sending appropriate actions to the robot through wireless communication such as Bluetooth or WIFI with smart device. Experiments and performance evaluations of the sensing and control schemes show the feasibility and the effectiveness of smart device based robotic application toward smart robots.
