Plataforma robótica móvil controlada por un teléfono inteligente usando el sistema operativo android

Smart systems such as smartphones has allowed to improve the compute processing, memory, availability of libraries in high-level languages, wireless communications, manipulation of sensors and interaction with people by using a touch screen. This paper presents the design and implementation of a Mobile Robotic Platform (MRP) that uses a smartphone as main controller by using the Android operating system. The control consists to send a set of instructions through the Bluetooth protocol from an application developed in Java and XML language. These instructions are received by an electronic system through a serial protocol and analyzed by an Arduino board. The MRP can be programmed for performing automatic tasks, according to the above a module has been added to the application for line tracking that uses motors for traction and direction by using optical sensors. Finally, the smartphone can be used like a remote control and by using an accelerometer sensor, to tilt the MRP.
