Forknife: A Robot Running Google Android on a G1
     



The Linux-based Google
Android phone OS is being used on an HTC G1 phone
to control Forknife,
a strange little robot with articulated cutlery that seems determined to
possess snack cakes despite its complete inability to eat them.
Forknife integrates an Arduino
microcontroller with
the G1 phone using DTMF tones for
communication. The robot also communicates with a desktop computer via
WiFi, 3G, or EDGE networks. Jeffrey Nelson created an Android app called
RoboComm and a PC-based app called RoboServ to pull this off. He also released
the code as free software
under the GPL so others can use and improve it. For more, see Jeffrey's
explanation of the system and his schematic
of the control system. We'd love to see what happens when this G1
robot meets the iPhone
robot we reported on a few weeks ago!
