Abstract

This paper proposes an easy-to-implement and relatively low-cost robotic platform with capability to realize image identification, object tracking, and Google Map route planning and navigation. Based on the JAVA and Bluetooth communication architectures, the system demonstrates the integration of Android smart devices and a differential-drive robotic platform.

Highlights

Robotic applications have attracted a great deal of attention in four areas: image identification and object tracking (IDOT) [1,2], map positioning and navigation (MPN) [3,4], web communication (WC) [5,6], and vocal control for speech recognition (VCR) [7,8]
Recent advances in VCR for semantic analysis [11,12] and emotion analysis have achieved more realistic intelligence in human-computer dialogue. These applications indicate that big data information [13] and WC technologies form the bedrock upon which innovative solutions of the Internet of Things [14] are being built, and are pushing forward the development and service of robotics
The aforementioned robotic applications indicate that robots are able to be well placed in highly dynamic environments and can simultaneously feedback rich information

Summary

Introduction

Robotic applications have attracted a great deal of attention in four areas: image identification and object tracking (IDOT) [1,2], map positioning and navigation (MPN) [3,4], web communication (WC) [5,6], and vocal control for speech recognition (VCR) [7,8]. We expect that this short description has provided, either from an economic or performance perspective, a persuasive and broad motivation to investigate the combination of a mobile driving robotic platform such as the LEGO or Arduino suites with smart phones. The communication platform is supported by leJOS NXJ, a JAVA virtual machine executed on NXT, for which many application objects can be freely accessed and developed on Eclipse [19].
