CUSTOM MOBILE ROBOT CONTROLLED BY ANDRIOD SMARTPHONE

This article describes design and realization of mobile robot controlled by Android device. The hardware parts are described. Individual sections describe choice process over the suitable movement electric motors with wheels, power source ? battery type, Bluetooth module, different type of sensors ? IR and rotation sensor, LCD and microprocessor. Suitable PCB is designed, function model of the robot is built and in the end the control application for OS Android devices is described. Developed Android application allows the user to control the robot's movement using arrows or gyroscope of the smartphone. Presented example of design and creation a simple robot is very good experiment for a students to get experiences in PCB design, hardware construction but also software programming of microcontrollers and also Android devices
