Smartphone-Controlled Telerobotic Systems

Abstract

This paper proposes a telerobotic system based on a smartphone and Nao, a humanoid robot from Aldebaran Robotics. A user can control the robot using her smartphone and interact with people and surroundings around the robot in a remote location. The overall system includes two servers to facilitate the connection between the user's smartphone and the robot. We have particularly focused on providing a user-friendly interface such that a user who is unfamiliar with the robot platform can control the robot intuitively.
