Forknife, Android G1 controlled robot


g1bot
When we first saw [Jeffrey Nelson]‘s G1 based robot we immediately wondered what the transport for the controls was. The G1‘s hardware supports USB On-The-Go, but it’s not implemented in Android yet. It turns out he’s actually sending commands by using DTMF tones through the headphone adapter. The audio jack is connected to a DTMF decoder that sends signals to the bot’s Arduino. He wrote client/server code inJava to issue commands to the robot. You can find that code plus a simple schematic on his site. A video of the bot is embedded below.
